Who could have beaten Joe Louıs ın hıs prıme?

[THE PHILOSOPHER]

Sorry but sanders had one of the most devastating left hands in boxing! For those on here who like to completely dismiss Sanders punching power, just take a look at some of his fucking fights. Listen and look at the impact of his shots. Case closed.

Corrie Sanders vs Carlos De Leon (Full Fight) - YouTube!

During the Rahman-Tua broadcast, Larry Merchant said Rahman told him that he wasn't at all suprised when Corrie Sanders KO'd Vladimir Klitschko a few weeks back. Rahman said that when they fought in 2000, Sanders hit him harder than he's ever been hit in his ENTIRE LIFE. And Rahman has faced some heavy hitters, Lennox Lewis, David Tua, Evander Holyfield, Oleg Maskaev, to name a few...

Try matching louis up with an eastern euro that actually was his contemporary! i.e legendary Soviet Korolev Nikolai Federovich:

Born February 14th 1917 and died February 12th 1974. He was a 4 -time Absolute Soviet Champion (1936,1937,1944, 1945), a 9 time Champion of the USSR (1936-1939,1945-1949) and Champion of the 1937 Socialist Olympics in Antwerp (The Russian alternative to the boycotted 1936 games in Berlin hosted by Nazi Germany), but he never got to go pro to really prove his stuff settling for a 110-14-2 record as a Russian hero.





Just stop with this old timer nonsense, joe would look like a child vs either klitschko!

Ali had the prefect style to beat Joe by out boxing him and staying away from the destructive punches from Loius.

Joe had power for his size for sure , but look at the guys who he was knocking out , he was great in his time , no way does he beat either of the brothers grim its just stupid to say so.
Just the same as Marciano wouldnt beat todays top guys.
It doesnt mean they were not great in their own time, its just facts.
Jesse Owens was great , but against Usain Bolt he would look foolish.
Yes you can say who would win Ketchel or Hagler for example , because they fought at the same weight , comparing HW'S is just impossible.
The big guys who fought in Joe's time where generally bums or freaks, not top conditioned fighters.

That film of his knockouts was poor quality but it did not hide a few, not just one glaring weakness. When he threw a right, he dropped his left. I'm thinking Ali. He stood on front of some of his opponents with a wide stance that almost looked as wide as a Horse stance in Karate for warmup drills without an opponent in front of you. Wasted movements were made when he was applying the explosive knockout combinations. Good fighters today pivot on the balls of their feet when throwing a hook. He would have been less prone to right hands and Schmeling would not have KO'd him if he was facing him at forty five degree angle and pumped his jab more to confuse the man who knocked him out. He seemed to be a big target and I liked Joe Louis for historical reasons. At least 90% of us weren't born or in some woman's arm being fed breast or bottle. Joe Louis had many flaws and so did the other fighters of his day but that's another story. today's fighters are part of a giant sports evolution, better trainers and better films with better nutrition. Well the rest you guys mentioned like size and strength so I am not going to beat a dead horse..
