You can't actually tell, because Louis comes from a different era of boxing, so he boxed under different rules and had different know-how in training and boxing and another style than Muhammad. Muhammad however would cause Louis trouble with his footwork(Louis had always bad footwork), his unique speed, that he could stand a punch(Ali could take the punches of George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Sonny Liston and Earnie Shavers, the hardest punching boxers ever in the ring) and his stamina. Louis would cause Ali trouble with his great defense(probably the best in heavyweight boxing history), his hard punching(Louis KO'd 6 inches taller Buddy Bear and Primo Carnera), his great flexibility and that he could also take a punch(Louis could stand the punches of Max Baer who hit so hard that he killed once someone in the ring!). It is hard to say who would have won a fight, all I can say is that I don't see Louis punching Ali out or Ali Punching Louis out. The fight would end with a draw, unanimous decision or split decision. At the end it depends on your favour who you would see as the winner. I, however, think that Muhammad Ali is overrated(He sure was great, but never the greatest. He won only over Sonny Liston because Liston was old and way over the hill, Frazier beat him once and I think that also "The Thrilla in Manila" goes to Frazier, when there haven't been Frazier's trainer stopping the fight. And he won only against Foreman with using the rope-a-dope technique, which was more a trap and had nothing to do with boxing, with Foreman boxing himself out) and that Louis proved enough how great he was by beating every famous heavyweight boxer of his time and staying champ for 12 years.
Here is a list of Boxers that would cause Muhammad Ali serious trouble prime for prime:
1. Joe Louis
2. Rocky Marciano (had even a better stamina than Ali)
3. Mike Tyson (his speed would cause Ali trouble)
4. Joe Frazier (proved in 1971)
5. George Foreman (Ali without "rope-a-dope")
6. a young Sonny Liston
7. a young Larry Holmes
8. Jack Johnson (with the rules of 1910, his defense would cause Ali trouble)
