discuss
it's interesting becuase the young ali was nimble and sharp and aggresive the later one would counter stay on the ropes and wait for oppitunities. and clinch to tires them out.
joe louis though was very concistent only in the later 30's did he show how ol dhe was.
both have got great jabs
both have good power and speed
and each have there own individual style that they bring to the game.
also they were the opposite in attitudes outside the ring joe a very very patriotic american who was humble quite and brooding
ali was loud seemingly arrogant silver tongued and would say exactly what he was thinking

i would go for ali joe was very hard to beat if you were a a brawler he would use his jab to place you into area of the ring and dominate you until he is close enough to throw a great 5 hit combo
but on the backfoot joe was very limited bu to shuffle forward till he could slam some shot in.
in the famous conn-louis fight conn who wasnt a good boxer had an awful jab more of a pat than a punch who was only a light heavy dominated almost all the round till he was willing to trade with louis thinking he had tasted his power and looked for the knockout but he went right into joe's hands and even hurt him very badly. but still joe came back and wham he knocked conn down and conn didnt get up.
anyways ali would do everything that conn could do better he had a far better chin better handspeed a great jab and a style that would fluster joe.
a tough fight and muhhamad would have to work his pay because joe wasnt a slow mover but he couldnt catch guys only hope that they would make a mistake.
also somthing that i will put down to stir the brew. joe louis had a weak chin...not wet paper klitschko weak more 3 plywood thick style chin. he could take some good shots but a solid heavy punch would make stiffen his legs up and he would go really defencive. anyways ali could punch..maybe not a punchers stylist but he could smack very well he made cleveland williams look childlike with his dancing style. he also landed one of the best left hooks against bonavena which made a man who had a real iron chin and a tough demenor about him and a left hook makes bono stmble all over the place. i think he was a very underated puncher but yet again that isnt for me to say becuase that isnt the title of the thread.
so muhhamad ali ko in the later rounds from around 8-15
