Joe Louis, greatest heavyweight of all time?

[Lubutheimmortal]

Joe Louis to me was the greatest heavyweight who ever lived, but I don't throw him in the intrinsic category that is occuppied by such fighters as Muhammad Ali and Aaron Pryor for one reason, I couldn't identify with Joe Louis. I'm not a good enough person to understand why he would support his country when he was fighting for a freedom that he as a black man in segregated times could not enjoy. Even when the IRS unjustly stalked him, he made it his duty to pay back every dime regardless of what he had to do. I'm not that kind of superior character that could do something like that. Joe Louis is too great a person to be my hero.

Well said, and I agree.

P.s working on that ******* add...net is being buggy (hehe irony)

Its like 56 of the greatest heavyweights of all time. I have this computer program that calulates the fights. I write the interviews, and ect. Then post the fights on the blog. After this I really want to write a pound for pound tournament! Not use the program just type out the fights.

That sounds like some intense stuff. Pretty admirable ****, good luck with it.

Does anybody know how many times Louis had been knocked down in his career?

Thanks Man I really do love the sport and its history some real life heros came from the sport, and I simply love wriiting about them, and there amazing talents. Main reason I jioned this forums was because alot of my friends don't know alot of boxing so I never could carry a intelligent convo with them.

Yeah, thats why I became a boxing writer. I needed an outlet for all of the things I wanted to talk about in the sport. Boxing is my ****, it's my drug.

I think Louis was down many more times than 3 or 4. I think it might have been 10 or something like that.
