Joe Louis is the 2nd greatest ever heavyweight of all time. Just think he would be vulnerable early to the Tyson onslaught and not survive. If he did then agreed he would take it late.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Was he ever really hurt? Rocky was down a number of times too but rarely if ever hurt.
Louis and Rocky had styles that led to them being more off balance than anything else.

If Tyson got hit by those guys he'd probably go down too....he did get hurt by Frank Bruno and he was made to quit by both McBride and Williams who were at BEST journeymen and yes that was late in his career but look at Joe Louis he never QUIT in any match and neither did Rocky. They had too much heart for Tyson and IMO Joe Louis was just too damned good for him
I don't think any top heavyweight who fought before the 50s could beat any top heavyweight who fought 70s and onward. The evolution of styles really took off in the mid 20th century and most fighters from Louis' era were just too one dimensional to compete.
