    How would this seriously transpire?

    Louis may struggle early with Haye's speed, but adjusts and times his shots with precision. Louis may get off the canvas in order to win, but he's too skilled/techically sound for Haye and Haye can't cope and Louis' shots land perfectly and he ends up winning by brutal KO or stoppage around rounds 4/5/6.

    I'll take Louis but he'd have difficulties.

    Joe Louis just too chinny, too slow footed, too black and white.

    Haye at best scores a KD.

    In the end, Louis knocks him dead.

    Haye doesn't have an edge in speed either. Maybe in footspeed, but his hands damn sure aint as fast as a prime Louis.

    Louis wouldn't beat the likes of Lewis, Tyson, Foreman, Ali, or Holmes.

    But he damn sure ain't losing to that bum Haye.

    The thing I love about MM is you can't be wrong. It is as close as I get to theism. I don't think I have ever picked Roberto Duran in any MM. I dare you. Try it. :Hanzkiller::Hanzkiller:

    Look, Haye beat Chisora because Chisora ran into range where he could be easily nailed. Louis, thanks to his slow feet, will actually shuffle forward, catch shots on his gloves and be in position to nail Haye, who was tired by the 3rd round vs Chisora, with some shots of his own. Haye loves guys who come forward recklessly. Louis, especially post Schmelling, had lost that recklessness. I like him to find and time Haye eventually.

    KO'g a guy who has taken a lot of clean leather in his previous 4 fights and who had zero offense against a mobile target is not at all that impressive. I also have a theory that guys who take lots of clean shots from Vitali tend to look like shit in their next fight anyways.

    That tends to be true mainly to the extent they were shit to begin with. Few boxers who take lots of clean shots in one fight, tend to improve much in the next one.

    As for this fight, Louis blasts Haye's head into a tearful Calzaghe's lap ringside
