    He might just beat Joe Louis. I'll give you that. Wlad is big and athletic and would pose problems to the slow-footed Joe Louis.
    Louis would wipe the floor with the majority of great heavyweights because JOE LOUIS is the greatest heavyweight of all time.

    Louis would wipe the floor with the majority of great heavyweights because JOE LOUIS is the 2nd greatest heavyweight of all time.

    Joe Louis is probably the greatest HW ever. I know for a fact he never lost to someone 3 times. I mean the so called self proclaimed greatest lost to Ken Norton 3 times and got 2 gift decisions.

    I think you would like this article Lyle, it details how Joe Louis would beat the so called greatest.

    I beg to differ. I think Ali would beat him. A thousand outcomes can be written but no-one will ever know for sure. Ali certainly fought the better opponents IMO and we can only speculate how good he would have been in his years away from the sport.

    How Joe Louis Would have Beaten Muhammad Ali
    Actually Muhammad Ali had 6 gift decisions.

    Ken Norton x3
    Doug Jones
    Earnie Shavers
    Jimmy Young

    I think he lost 4 of the decisions i listed there, with one draw to Doug Jones.

    I also heard his fight with Alfredo Evangelista was close aswell, although i've only seen bits and pieces of it.

    Ali most definitely did not get 3 gifts against Norton, seeing as Norton WON the first fight. Need to work on your maths Ice.

    I do think Norton won 2 out of 3 (although I also thought he edged Larry Holmes), but I think Ali beat Jones, Shavers & Young. He's not a complete shoe-in for greatest HW of all time, although he does just edge Louis for me.

    No way does Wlad hit harder than Foreman. He hits hard, a lot harder than many give him credit for, but not harder than Foreman. Lamon Brewster was not a high quality 'little' man for me, but even if he was Joe Frazier was an ATG 'little' man. The last sentence is just stupid if you've ever seen Frazier's fights, particularly the Thrilla In Manilla, where he fought blind. Frazier defined heart, if Brewster could do it, Smokin' Joe would have done it as a doddle.

    No, he's not Lyle. He's very good, certainly much, much better than some of the haters on here give him credit for, but aside from Mayweather, there's Bernard Hopkins, Juan Manuel Marquez, Chad Dawson, Ivan Calderon, Hozumi Hasegawa & Tim Bradley, all of whom you could make strong arguments for being more technically skilled & there's at least a couple who are dead certs on that.

    Jaz out of your group I would say only Dawson could dominate another top teir fighter with just 1 hand. Wlad is so far ahead of the rest of the heavyweights he could almost fight the best out there with "one hand tied behind his back" that's how good his jab and left hook are. The offense of Wladimir is far superior to all the fighters you mentioned...defense probably not but it's at least on par with them.

    Well he can't literally do it with only one hand. He needs the right hand to block and be there to at least give the threat of throwing it. Also without using the right hand Wlad couldn't do his signature 1-2 punch And let's not forget about the added benefit Wlad's size offers for his offense.

    Not to take away from Wlad as a fighter but seeing this "with one hand tied behind his back" for the 2nd time, I just had to comment.

    What's your definition of technical skills?? Wlad is extremely hard to out-box but that doesn't mean he has great technical skills.

    It's like saying Muhammad Ali had great technical skills.

    I mean Wladimir is fundamentally sound, so much so that he can have what many see as "glaring weaknesses" (chin, stamina) and can still be THE dominant fighter in the division.
