Louis was an accurate combination puncher like Evander with a better jab and more power. If Moorer and Cooper amd ancient versions of Foreman and Holmes can be competitive against a "prime' Holyfield, Lous would handle him IMO. Probably stop him because of Evander's heart for a brawl.
It doesn't matter what Louis would be like nowadays... we don't know. Holyfield now definitely would have beaten Louis of then.
