Pictures of the Statue of Joe Louis's fist in DownTown Detroit!!!

very nice monumen by the way

Dont let this thread sink, rather than talk about Khan and his padded career, or whether or not Haye will beat the 3rd Klitschko brother, people should stand and take note, this, is what boxing is all about, this is Joe Louis, i feel very proud, that they have made these monuments. Nice thread Burner. why bring it up if it bothers you that much?

was his fist really that big? :dunno: You're right, his fist was much bigger.

I can't wait until the unveil the Joey Giardello statue here in philly. They already had a party or something showing what it looekd like. But I don't think they put it in the street yet. The location is awesome. Its literally a 5 second walk outside my boys door, where they will put it.

People can't even fathom how famous and important Joe Louis was at his time. He was all your idols rolled into one. Times 10. Absolutely man. Amazing boxer, amazing person.

thats cool, respect to Detroit for this..they need to remove that fictional Rocky and put the statue of Frazier on those steps in Philly..seeing as that scene is actually derived from Frazier's training

That's almost as big as Pacquiao's head.

I tried not to use that word but i cant be too fuss so yea, Erect.. How come we are only seeing it now?? I would have thought a lot of boxing fans would have post those pictures in forums etc. I genuinely thought it was recently just finished. I love it though and wouldnt mind going there to take pictures of it. It just crossed my mind. I seen it a million times so Im used to it but I figured some B-Scene members didnt know about it or seen it. Yeah its amazing man. They have a full body one too. Lot of good stuff on Joe Louis in Downtown Detroit.

:rofl: at "erected". I tried not to use that word but i cant be too fuss so yea, Erect.. They built the fist in the late 70's. How come we are only seeing it now??

boxing is truly the sport of the people. if only the people realized this.

That's cool.

Bumped for those who missed it. :boxing:

I always love seeing that Statue. Wish Boxing had more statues in the world.

Nice pictures, Has it been there for a while or was it erected recently?? They built the fist in the late 70's.

Good stuff right there.

nice thread and nice pics. atleast it's better than reading all the pac/mayweather threads, it's getting ridiculous. Exactly. If i could give retard Snopkins there another infraction i would, he is probably the most unintelligent poster i've ever seen.

I heard they were planning on putting up a giant statue of Joe Louis's head that would be made from glass just directly infront of the fist,ut apparently most within the city felt it was in poor taste. Like ur post was. Cunt. Infracted accordingly.

You sure that ain't Valuev's statue? lol He ws arguably the hardest hitter ever. He would knocked Valuev senseless.
