If Joe louis was a Modern day Heavyweight how do you think he would fair?

Yeah, 200lb Louis would kill 260lb klutzbrothers and own the division. So would Max Baer, Primo Carnera, Jack Dempsy and a whole lot of other old timers.. Louis was one of the most devestating punchers in history and had near perfect technique. People were tougher/stronger in those days -- don't let the weight and pretty muscles fool you. Why were they tougher/stronger? Life was... they walked everywhere, did the laundry by hand, worked harder than we do and didn't have the distractions we have. Boxing, especially at the heavy weight division is historically weaker than it's ever been -- even in the 80's.
