Who Is Boxings Best Role-Model?

[Slimey Limey]

I'm glad somebody brought up Louis' cowardly behavior. Not only is he an overrated boxer he is also overrated as a man. He wasn't faithful to his wives at all, and a true womanizer. Yeah lads, that's right, good ol' Joe was a **** grabber like all of us. But barely anybody knows. I used to know all the details, but i'm sure Manmachine will fill me in on that as I have no doubt he'll read this post and respond like always.
He was used as a puppet. You might say he had "class" unlike Ali and Johnson, but atleast those men were brave, and stood up for what they believed in. They didn't let no punk racists tell them what to do, and use them like puppets, like they did to poor Louis and then later stabbed him in the back for it.

And for those of you ripping on Jack Johnson, if you could even process in your mind what kind of mental torture this man went through, you still wouldn't even begin to understand him. Put Louis in his position and they would have treated him no diffirent. You see, Louis was lucky to come AFTER Johnson, so the folks back then could see a diffirent kind of black champion.

Like it has been stated, Louis was a great man in his heart, but a true sucker as well.
Role model? No. If I was in his position I wouldn't be a coward like that.

no problem man. also been noticing you and slimey limey's really dislike one another. whats the beef between you'se two?

Slimey Limey makes numerous hate posts where he just rips down Joe Louis and Ray Robinson and I've called him on it. He wants to build up Marciano at the expense of other greats. The really sad thing is Marciano's achievements speak for themselves: Other greats don't have to be ripped down to make Rocky look better.

Go **** yourself. You can take your hate posts over to NSB where they belong.

I believe Joe Louis pressured golf clubs into breaking the so-called "colour barrier" and allowing black people to play.

Given the amount of alleged losses due to betting on golf matches he incurred he may have regretted that!

As Ali was lucky to come after Louis and be ABLE to be a different kind of black champion.

I'll ignore the rest of your post on the grounds of complete disinterest and disdain

Yes it is strange, I'm a huge Marciano fan but even I want him to keep it in proportion.
My grandson would be amazed at me playing down Marciano as I bore him senseless with him

Truth is though I don't think I'd have the patience to do it: My temperment is all wrong for that I think.

I'll give him this: He chose his name well "Slimey". He's one of the most scuzzy ********** posters I've ever run into on Boxing Scene. I'd call him a scumbag if it wasn't so insulting to bags of scum everywhere. This douche has to be an embarresment to his fellow Brits.

Hate? No. Truth? Yes. You know all about Louis. Tell us about his relationships with women, Poet.
After all, this thread is about role models and we wouldn't want to leave out any negative FACTS, do we now?

You misunderstood me. I said the reason even whites loved Louis was because he was the total opposite of what they hated before. Put the lad in Johnson's position and nobody would treat him any diffirent than they did Johnson.

You call yourself a Marciano fan? Get in there and bend over in the Louis crowd you fraud.
