Let's compare abilities

Left Hook: Louis
Right Hand: Louis
Chin: Holyfield
Defense: Even I'd say, but if I had to give an edge I'd say Holyfield
Body punching: Louis
Jab: Louis
Heart: Even
Stamina: Louis
Uppercut: Louis
Footwork: Holyfield

I don't know what else I'm forgetting, but you see Louis has the edge in most of these fields albeit only a slight edge as Holyfield doesn't have a bad left hook or right hand in his own right.
What Louis fights did you watch ?
Baer
Schmeling 1 and 2
Walcott
Marciano
Cesar Brion
Billy Conn

I think I've seen some of the Tony Galento footage. I forget what all ones I've watched, I know I've seen those though.

He looks phenomenal against Baer, shortly before he won the World Title.
When you get a chance, you should watch some of his other fights. He looked great against Carnera as well.

Agree with most of this except for defense. That always Holyfield's achilles heel. He was not hard to hit.
Doesn't matter joe wouldn't hit him way to stiff slow and missing of advances so what is your point
Hey look at you. You learned how to quote somebody and not f*ck it up. Like a big boy.
