I think some people tend to forget how good was our Joe Louis, he was a really really tough fighter complete boxer who was able to trade and had a really good punch. Hell Britkid could come out of his grave for denying Joe Louis that much ^^

Everyone seems to have a picture of him in these black and white movies...don't forget that Joe louis was tough, he worked long hours in a period of time where work was very painful to the body. He went to the gym and trained with the training methods of these years. A Joe louis of this era...would be a man doing pumping irons, dietetics training, improving boxing technics and so on....he would be then a lot stronger (ok I'm only speculate) but I like to take that into account...

Tyson is an all time great, sure, but he would have had many difficulties again Joe louis, Louis was tough and If I can see Tyson landing many combo during the 6 first rounds, I can see that Joe louis would trade and land strong jad or one two to tyson head...that after round six, I can see Joe louis trading big time against tyson the two being rocked several time.

Still Tyson bu UD I think in a very brutal war. Joe Louis being rocked many times in the fight and refusing to be KO'ed.

I Know, I'm a original ^^
