Joe Louis struggled with Conn and maybe he'd struggle with Tunney but Louis' power and the speed and effectiveness in which it was delivered would really make a difference.

You forget Louis beat Walcott, Max and Buddy Baer, James Braddock, and Jack Sharkey....all good heavyweights
'good' being the defining word.

He never beat a 'great' fighter in his entire career. You really think any of the greatest heavies in history would have trouble with the 4 you mentioned there?

I'm suprised you didn't throw in Carnera!
