Fundamentally, the problem stems at political level & the biggest Red Neck of em all was George W.. I sincerely doubt, he won that election fair & square.. He has a well documented IQ of 78.. This is equivelant to that of a Thai Peasant..
There is good and bad of everyone, and believe me, most Americans didn't give a **** about Michael Jackson, & for the record, neither did I....
Most things can be explained, but how the hell is Holyfield skint?? He always had a reputation of short arms with long pockets.. I can only guess, that some crazy judge within the political sector, ordered him to pay $20, 000,000 for each kid.. Wouldn't surprise me?? With regard to Tyson.. If he actually did **** Desiree Washington, he'd still be ****** up now.. No excuses for biting Holys ear though...

When Joe Louis asked Lena Horne, with whom he was then having a relationship, to keep score for him at a Hollywood golf benefit, the singer refused -- she was entertaining troops that day. Joe hit her with a left hook. Then he started to choke her. In his 1978 autobiography, written with Edna and Art Rust Jr., Louis said that the only thing that saved Lena's life was an aunt in the next room who threatened to call the police.

Speaking of which, a lot of criminals did positive things as well. Serial killer John Wayne Gacy helped out his community in every way, it doesn't change the fact that he was no good for what he did(Now Louis nuthuggers, i'm not comparing him to serial killers now so whipe your tears away).
Fact is Louis drank heavily, used a lot of drugs, was a womaniser, a woman beater, almost killed a woman too.
Now these are all FACTS. Not opinions. You cannot look at his positives deeds and ignore his dark side, which is what you are doing.
The REAL Louis was NOT a role model PERIOD. End of discussion.

Umm he did drugs later in his life which he had quit doing before passing on.
I did a quick search of google for "joe louis beat women" and "joe louis women beater" found something about him beating germany but thats about it. I hope your not blindly clinging on to some joe louis grudge due to something you read online or some undocumented opinion.
if you can provide some links to backup your claims im sure they would be a good read.
I found stuff about the womanizing. but nothing about beating.Last edited by Spartacus Sully; 07-07-2009, 07:50 AM.

Hahaha you typed it in google and nothing came up.
You're right, you're right. He didn't beat women.....he tried to KILL them, even for something as petty as refusing to keep score for him while he was playing Golf.

As for the links, I'll just quote Billionare's post for ya. Enjoy it lad.
