@blllllllllleugh A measurement can be made by watching this vid. Louis was an extremely gifted athlete. The film conveys an undeniable fact that the man had the reflexes of a cat! He could turn a punch on a dime & shoot a devastating blow into the smallest window of opportunity. He threw his punches short & powerful, just look at the impact on his opponents! He stands among few such men when it comes to generating this much torque at a close range. Longest reign, most defenses.

more ko's than ali's # of wins fucking speaks for itself, and going to war on top of it
-
Joe Louise's was champion for 11 years, that's 4 more years than Holmes. His records speaks for itself. The best heavyweight of all time. Certainly better than Ali
-
He is the greatest. I really enjoyed those hits
-
Bullshit. Tyson would lose very quickly if he had fought Louis like he used to. Anger doesn't really help in a fight. If he gotten real pissed, Louis would just wack his ass down to the ground
-
He lost three times. But still, you're right
-
@blllllllllleugh I think Louis beats him because Vitali makes mistakes that would get him stopped IMO. The can work against the heavyweights he's fighting but not against someone like Louis, Louis was a master of parring jabs and I think Louis would have been able to utilize his smaller size and get on the inside and work the body. Vitali pulls his head back to avoid punches, it works for him now but who has he faced that can feint like Louis and then launch devastating counters?

@blllllllllleugh Louis fought opponents that were Klitschko's size and was able to knock them out. Louis' lack of weight was replaced by his tremendous power, accuracy, and defense. And Louis fought better quality opponents, Klitschko is fighting in a heavyweight division that is so incredibly weak.

@president234 Not necessarily. Klitschko's height alone would neutralise much of Louis' offence. I can imagine that by virtue of people watching this video they are Joe Louis fans and would back him against anyone. But it is a (sad) fact of sport that sportsmen have improved incrementally over the years. Unlike a distance runner, or a swimmer for example, there is no quantifiable way to measure a boxer's ability and that's why people seem to believe in the myth of legendary fighters.
