Rocky vs Louis?

Question

I know that these guys have already fought. Joe Louis was at the end of his career,when they met. Two punchers meeting in their prime. Do you think the outcome is different with a 25yr old Louis?

Answer 1

Nope, Marciano was too tough and could take the body away from every opponent! Louis could take a punch but not continusley to the body like Rocky liked to do! Even in their prime!

Answer 2

The outcome would definitely be different. I've seen the clips of this fight. Louis was a shell of his former self. Marciano dominated this fight. If he meets a young Joe,this would've been a much different fight.  This goes down as the greatest fight in history.  You have a tremendous puncher against a man with heart and desire. Most of all Joe had the will to win.

Answer 3

louis would have beaten marciano in their respective primes........late stoppage or decision,

Answer 4

I think the fight would go the distance.  Louis showed the world what happened to Schmeling in their rematch.  Both would be in bad shape at the end of the fight and I have Louis pulling out  a close decision.  This hasn't been addressed lately so good question.

Answer 5

I'd have to go with Joe Louis as well. I beleive he and Ali are the best two all time heavies. I think a young Louis would be to powerful for the Rock. Although I can't see him KOing Marciano because know one ever did. Rocky showed no evidence of a weak chin. But over the coarse of 15 exciting punishing(both ways) I think Joe would be able to impose his will and score a dec.
