Who would you pick if Johnson weighed in at 197 lbs?

Johnson was 193 lbs in his prime,so would come in at 197 lbs against Louis.

Louis's own trainer Chappy Blackburn stated that Johnson would have beaten Louis. I'd tend to agree with him.

Johnson was a better mover, a great spoiler and arguably had even faster hands than Louis. His defense was far superior too. It wouldn't bean easy fight, but I'd bet on Johnson.
