[JMaster]

Both in their primes, who do you see winning the fight?

I give Mike a very good shot to stop Louis, but if he doesn't get him out in 4 or 5 rounds Joe would win.

I see joe stopping mike inside 4 rounds, joe is in a different time zone to mike as a fighter

I don't agree with the outcome of this article but its really well done and the pictures are amazing!

I never saw that before. Tyson slightly ahead in the voting, but a pretty close race.

I don't see Louis even coming close. Tyson had more speed, power, better combination's, and better defense and head movement.

In Tyson's prime I'm having a hard time believing that Louis wouldn't be another 1st round KO.

Tyson at his best is just too much for Joe Louis.

Yeh, for me anyone in my top 10 list has a chance against the other (one exception may be forman-frazier).

I am a big fan of the pictures of tyson and louis in the ring with each other on that site, looks really good!

I enjoyed the article but disagreed with the result.

I agree with Carlos, I think prime Mike destroys prime Louis.

Probably the worst stylistic matchup for the Brown Bomber ever.....and I'm a big fan of Joe.

Tyson is bigger,stronger,faster,and hits harder than Louis.

Styles make fights,and Joe doesn't fight moving backwards very well.

Tyson is a real fast starter,and would probably KO Louis within' 3 rounds.

I can see either guy knocking the stuffing out of the other guy in a flash if either makes silly technical mistake in the ring. I think Tyson's style is all wrong for Joe, Tyson wouldn't give him the room or time to carefully place his trademark laser-beam accurate punches. I'd favor Tyson to flush Joe out in under 5 rounds.

Has Louis ever fought a really nasty swarmer like Tyson? I have seen him fight some good boxers and some brawlers/sluggers but I must admit I have never seen him up against a real nasty swarming fighter. If anyone knows of any fights please tell me I would love to watch.

PS: I have seen him fight Marciano, but I'm not so sure I'd categorize the way Rocky fought that fight to really be swarming.
