Louis was faster, more technical and advanced. I see it as a clear dec or a late stoppage in favor of Louis.

Louis drops Johnson early and puts him in a defense shell the rest of the fight and takes a very wide decision.

Either the Brown Bomber decisioning Johnson by decision after nailing him with better jabs, right hands and combinations or stopping him late in a great battle.

Johnson would have given him a lot of trouble; but more often than not Louis would win.

Johnson was very good at using his hands to picking off his opponents punches. He was one of the few heavyweights who had as much boxing skill as Louis and would have had the advantage in speed. Louis would have the power advantage and was a very accurate puncher, who would get to Johnson more often than almost anyone else, though not consistently.
