    Joe Louis would stand a good chance against Wilder if he got on the inside and let his hooks rip into him. Joe could also end up knocked out as any heavyweight ever could against Wilder because he hits so damn hard. Joe Louis was technically a better boxer than Wilder will ever be.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I think he would get inside as well. As you stated Joe was a technical boxer, something Wilder can forget about. He'd probably chop him down from the body & up. A slow beating. Since Wilder has been known to move backwards and throws ok would be his best chance. But this is the fight where I'd agree Wilder could run, but he can't hide!


    I'm not sure about AJ or Fury.
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

    ​My video shows exactly how Joe and his era fought. In that video, does that version of Joe look like he or anybody else would land anything on foreman or people he fought?

    he and guys from his time look like novices compared side by side to no names Foreman fought, and in no way does anyone from that era look like they would last 1 round vs. guys in the 70s-'90s

    so why say Joe would do good based on who he fought?
    Why say he would do good vs Deontay, when Deon even as an amateur Was way more advanced and fought way more advanced fighters than the whole louis era.

    The video clearly shows his whole era were novice like compared in angles/tech/fluidity/timing/defense and they fought really dumb to a lot of times standing right in front of the opposition and waiting for them to counter or to hit them, I specifically chose no names to show even those guys were way more advanced than the whole louis era


    See how using that odd quote of his tech was to great is ridiculous, look at the all 4 fighters, in the video like come on, how exactly would his punch tech alone allow him to land, while lacking greatly in angle use/fluidity/timing/defense that even as my video showed no name-mid carders foreman fought had way more than his era, see how it doesn't make any logical sense saying he would do good
