Tyson was HEAVIER but not taller than Louis...so I guess it depends on what you mean by "bigger"

Louis inspite what everyone would have you believe had a very good defense and good head movement and NEVER missed a punch because he was out of range...he missed but he knew his range better than anyone else.

Louis had natural power and in those 7 title fights in one year he scored 6 KNOCKOUTS! (and 1 dq win)

When people say in that video "Nobody could remember seeing a kid punch like this" you must remember this was only a decade past Dempsey and Max Baer who killed two guys was still fighting.

And he was the first guy to stop james Braddock who had a hell of a chin
