Heck I'd like to just sit around a bar and talk about that fight in the days leading up to it. I've read that Joe was the first black national hero and I'd like to see how many whites were supporting their fellow American. Joe Louis was a credit to his race, the human race.

More than 70 million people listened to that fight worldwide. The entire civilized planet knew of this fight on what hinged on its outcome. I doubt there will ever be another fight as important at this one.
