    "Text book technique" haha give me a break, old Freddie Roach must struggle hard to keep a straight face with that one!!

    Even the fattest, laziest version of Riddick Bowe could have finished Louis early rounds.

    Maybe I need drug testing then.
    But that is just my opinion.
    I would certainly like to see if I am wrong.

    I'm a big fan/believer in prime, MOTIVATED Riddick Bowe. I think he would smash a lot of past and present greats.

    Me too. Just not sure if Louis was one of them.

    Oh jeez I'd have to go with Bowe.

    Joe wasn't a great "boxer" (in the slickster sense), he was a great boxer/puncher. I just don't think Joe would have had the ability to keep Bowe at bay. He'd be going up against a guy with a longer reach, 30-40 functional pounds on him, superior fire power and a superior chin.

    I just can't see Louis winning that fight. Different times, different weight catagories.

    If it was just some palooka with 30lbs on him, sure. But Bowe was world class.

    A few members of my family saw Louis. After talking to them think Louis would get the W. and if I get drug tested, I will fail.

    Bowe isnt some wounded war veteran or part time bootlegger that Louis is used to fighting on a monthly basis.

    Louis is seriously undersized, slow, has a lack of head movement, no mobility ,and he would be a sitting duck for Big daddy.

    Bowe would abuse him plain and simple..

    Its not the 30s no more.

    Bowe would kill him with the jab, and I don't think Louis had the power to get Bowe out of there, or the chin to withstand Bowe's onslaught.

    Bowe's chin would be a problem for Louis, Holy's best sharp shots are atleast as powerful as Louis', and Holy couldnt put him away. Bowe's chin would take all Louis' shots, but Joe would out-stamina the often low-stamina Bowe, outhustle him, Joe would fight him like Dempsey fought Willard. Hell, Joe would fight him like he fought Primo carnera.

    It makes me laugh when people who has only seen black and white films starts romanticizing and overrating the shit outa the likes of Gene Tunney lol, dempsey, and jack johnson and them primitive fighters.

    Those guys would be lucky to even beat a prime Monte Barrett.. jack johnson doesnt strike me as a good boxer and I dont see him making it out of the firs round against Deonte wilder..

    Old schooo fighters are overrated....


    Only old school fighters truly admire are the ones from the 60s and up like Ali, Patterson, and Larry Holmes..
