its funny because in written accounts Louis was stated as someone who was “constantly making jokes” or pranking people. Him and Walker Smith one time got in a fight over the last bottle of coca cola. It ended with Smith cutting his foot on the broken glass.

- -After Joe's arranged marriage collapsed, and BTW that gal was top of the line in class and desirability, he was a free agent, and another one of his trysts was the reigning Olympic ice skating queen of the day who's name escapes me.
In short, nascent Joe that was maneuvered to a title not the same Joe later, esp after WW2 where he was an established legend in his own time.

All you have to do is take one look. It is all over the internet. Joe promised Blackburn he would not lord it over white, fallen opponents. He had his fingers crossed when he made his promise concerning white tail. Louis was like every other boxer I ever read about--totally unfaithful to his wife.
