    I'd refer you to Britkids comment earlier, if Joe had been born 40 years later, he would have been a couple of inches taller and a few stone heavier with better diet and nutrition.. If he had been born in the 1980s he could have been bigger than Anthiny Joshua. He was bigger than the average guy than Joshua.

    Both all time greats though, what a fight that would have been
    I've never really understood this logic completely. Of course the very biggest guys are generally bigger now than they were way back when, but how can you say with any confidence that an individual would have been? If Willie Pep were around now, would he be a middleweight? Would Valuev have been 6'4 250 in Louis' era? There wouldn't be any featherweights alive today using that line of thought. By diet and nutrition accounting for that kind of size difference, you are almost implying that Joe Louis would have grown up malnourished or something. If your last point were true I wouldn't have posted this, but I just can't see it being the case? How much bigger is Joshua than the average guy, the dude is a giant!

    The Ali of 1966-67 was unbeatable. The skills of Sugar ray Robinson and the heart of Rocky Marciano with the chin of Ray Mercer. Who tops that?

    64-67 for me, but point on. Cut down heading into his prime.
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
