[Slimey Limey]

The Louis fans are desperately trying to cover up everything. Don't mess with the proof, lads.

It's in page 135 of that book. In Louis' 1978 biography he gives more details about it. I'm searching for that one.

shocking about louis............

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."

Imagine Joe fookin Louis hitting a fragile woman with his left hook.

You beat me to it! Something stinks.. That book was written in 1978 by a joint 3rd party when Louis was in the advanced stages of dimensia..
Look forward to your views..

On the contrary.. We're having a collective debate in order to establish the true facts..
The thought of any author(s) taking advantage of an old and dying man with mental health problems is rather discerning..
Controversy sells books doesn't it?? Now we're going to find out everything we know and thoroughly research the credibility of the author(s) Who knows, perhaps all their books were full of ****.. We WILL get to the bottom of it though.....

Alas, critical thinking and scholarly investigation is lost on that poor sod. It's a sure bet his name doesn't come up when discussion turns to Boxing Scene's intellectual set.

Emmmmm I'm only a few minutes into my research & it instantly becomes apparent that controversy was thier specialist subject, with reference to the author(s) of course..
Here's the titles to some of their other books:

Negro leagues
Recollections of a baseball junkie
Deep South
History of the black athlete
NBA's Black pioneers
The rise & ruin of a black institution
Baseball as history & Myth

I think we can see a pattern developing here.. Perhaps they run outta baseball ideas & went round to mug off sick old Joe.. We'll find out...

cant forget his first book:

Get that Ni**er off the Field

though they may be satires
