    Depends on what you like. I'm not that excited about Tyson. I honestly would have taken 5 current fighters not in the game over Tyson. EA probably could have signed those fighters for the price they signed Tyson.

    I understand why the signed him (marketing, buyer demand) but im not going to praise EA because they gave us Tyson and a subpar current boxer lineup.

        Its not Joe Louis' fault he fought during the 1930s-40s, but judging by his fighting style, what makes u think he would be competitive? WOuld u even want to be him in a video game? He would have no agility whatsoever.
        Joe was as technically sound as it gets, plus he had great power in either hand. Even higher praise from Freddie Roach:
        "Joe Louis was the best textbook fighter ever. He was a classic boxer."

              All of that "classic boxer" stuff don't mean squat. Here's a list of fighters who would have no trouble with Joe Louis:

              Muhammad Ali
              Mike Tyson
              Lennox Lewis
              George Foreman
              Sonny Liston
              Joe Frazier
              Riddick Bowe
              Evander Holyfield
              Larry Holmes (as much as I hate to say it)

              Even the Klitskho (sp) brothers would beat Louis.

              I know Rocky Marciano beat Joe Louis, but he was mad old when they fought. Joe could possibly beat Marciano in his prime, but Joe had a suspect chin, and he did get floored by Max Schmelling, who is nowhere near the fighter Marciano was.

              Edit: Marciano was only fighting at 184 when he fought Louis. Joe also got very lucky when he beat Billy Conn (who fought at 174 in that fight).

                AND...Louis could KO ANY of these:
                Muhammad Ali
                Mike Tyson
                Lennox Lewis

                Evander Holyfield
                Larry Holmes (as much as I hate to say it)

                Louis had TREMENDOUS power w/ either hand...PLUS he was the BEST combination technician EVVVER! you take those ingredients, put them behind a 6' 1 218 lb frame...ANY of the a fore mentioned fighters are goin' DOWN...next question...

                      Sure he can KO them...if they stood in his face and said "Gimme your best shot."

                      Did u read what I typed? Joe Louis was getting handled by much smaller fighters in Marciano and Billy Conn.

                      Boxing hadn't evolved as much, and fighters back then were sitting targets.

                      Its hard to say Louis would have knocked out Ali and Holyfield when they have two of the strongest chins that boxing has ever seen, and neither has ever been knocked out (Holyfield got TKO'ed by Toney when he was already past 40 years of age).

                      Get off your nostalgic high horse and realize that its all simple evolution. If Tyson fought back then with his prime skill set, he would have never lost, and probably would be banned from boxing.

                      LOL@Joe Louis beating up Ali and Foreman. Dawg, u crazy!

                        You don't think Joe Louis would have adapted his game? Thats like saying John L. Sullivan would have been standing there like the Notre Dame Leprachaun if you threw him in the ring today.

                        Louis had the size to compete even today. In fact, Jack Johnson and James Jeffries would give these guys all they could handle and they fought back in the early 1900's. They were strong and mean as hell and had the size, chin, and stamina to hang with the other great HW's.

                          Comparing fighters from different eras, or any sports figures for that matter, is pointless and silly. You don't know what could happen and training methods and nutrition have all evolved. You compare modern fighters to the older fighters but put Joe Louis in this era with all the advantages of today's supplements and training methods and he would rule the HW division.

                          If you put the 1970's Steelers in against the last dynasty like the Patriots of 5 years ago they would get squashed because all the Patriot linebackers and linemen and DB's and WR's are all faster and bigger than the 70's Steelers. If guys like Lambert and Jack Ham and Lynn Swaan all trained like today's players then you would have a contest because then all things are equal and the superior skillset would prevail. If Jack Lambert played today he would be cut because he would be too small but if he bulked up with steroids and supplements, like almost every athlete does today, he could compete and excel because then his skillset takes over because the size disadvantage is gone.

                            Not being a huge fan of the sweet science, but a product of the FN series I could care less who's in the game. I just get tired of playing the same Ali v Ali or Ali v Frasier or Morales v Corales or Corales v Pacquiao or Ward v Hatton or DLH v SRL etc etc etc...rinse and repeat!. At least this gives me the chance to see something new and experiment with some different matchups. They left some out, the should have put some in, whatever! I just thank EA for giving me more options.

                              I agree, which is why I think it's pointless to have fighters from that era in this game. As great as a fighter as Joe Louis was, if you were to put him in THIS particular game, he would suck even if u maxed out his power...especially if u were to give him an accurate fighting style.

                                Disappointed with some choices. Emanuel Augustus, Nate Campbell & Vivian Harris, should be subbed for the likes of Paul Williams, Marquez, and Froch. It wouldn't necessarily have to be those three, but the three chosen for the game are absolutly ridiculous! The create a boxer must be 100% on point with 'real' names this time. Not nicknames. And hopefully, they will be shareable. Does anybody else feel that FN uses too many legend boxers? I would much rather have current fighters (just not as weak as prizefighter's roster). LOL.
