Now maybe if he'd trained in the 60's and had been taught then,maybe Joe fights totally different,quite possible
But style for style,as we know both fighters,Louis was built for Ali to play games with

I don't hate Ali i dislike him, but i do enjoy some of his fights.

Joes style was to slow of foot to catch that prime Ali

And Doug Jones, Henry Cooper, were speed demons ??

For someone who is boxing trainer im shocked you think, Ali would play with one of the Greatest Heavyweights of all time.
Its how Joe came in,its too slow,thats why Ali had that jab,he'd catch guys coming in like that
Dude one of my wifes gifts is a Team Louis Sweatshirt,its just too slow of a style to get in on someone like Ali
You dont have to like it,but the truth of it is,Ali could get away with toying with guys in that era,and did,these weren Mike Tyson chumps dug up to pad his record,these guys were the best out there. And he treated them like a cat plays with a mouse. And ended them when he got bored with the fight.

How did Doug Jones do so well then and Henry Cooper ?? both were slower than Louis and both couldn't carry Joe Louis's spit bucket.

Michael Spinks
Larry Holmes
Tony Tucker

These fighters alone are better than most of Ali's competition in 60s.

Zora Folley
Cleveland Williams
Brian London
Karl Mildenberger
Doug Jones

Etc.
