I think Cassius clay Aka Ali vs Louis is the most interesting boxing phantasy match up of all time. Two of the very best boxers of all time. But some fans with little knowledge says this is a complete mismatch.
1- People always complain about different eras can't be compared but the fact is that Louis and Ali era's were very close. Louis last fight was in late 1951, Ali started in 1960 only 9 YEARS LATER
2- Ali competition was superior to Louis, yeah but its not Louis fault
3- Some People say Ali was too big for louis and that's wrong Both guys had similar frames Ali was only an inch taller, and 5-10 pounds heavier in his prime. In fact Ali faced many guys that were way smaller than a young Joe Louis
In my mind Ali has the edge in this fight because his superior footwork but Louis could absolutely win.
It would be very competitive ... 24 years old Ali the same who destroyed Cleveland williams vs 24 years old Joe louis who knocked Schmelling in their second bout
