    Saw him on TV the last day of his life. He was ringside at Larry Holmes / Trevor Berbick fight at Ceasers Palace. He got a long standing ovation. It was hard to tell if he could truly comprehend it. I'd like to think that he could to some degree. I saw his grave at Arlington. It just says LOUIS, THE BROWN BOMBER, WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION 1937-1949. Nothing more needs to be said.

    I love that Max Schmeling paid for his funeral. Max was never a nazi, he was just unfortunate to be a German during that time. Max loved Joe and always had a soft spot in his heart for him.

    Overall this is the best boxing documentary ever put together, IMO. I first saw it in 1988. Beautifully tells the story of Joe Louis. It pulls no punches. Amazing, even shows Joe as a pro wrestler, broke, hooked on drugs, his friendship with Sinatra, and my God the supreme talent and skill he demonstrated in the boxing ring. It can be argued back and forth forever, yet to me nobody and I mean nobody can beat the Joe Loiuis who destroyed Schmeling in one round. Unbeatable that night. Accurate, fast, heavy handed punching, boxing like it is to be written in the textbook of punching. Best knockout artist P4P, any weight, all time, IMO - is JOE LOUIS.

      Agree. I think American writers and experts of his time (and even now) are being UNFAIR in labeling his competition as weak, especially the so called bum of the month club. These guys are ranked fighters before/during/after they met Joe Louis, so how the hell they're bums? Manny Pacquiao fought the likes of Chris Algieri, Jeff Horn and Lucas Matthysse but wasn't criticized of facing bums.

      I first saw this on TV on A and E one late night in 1988. I was surprised at how well they did this. I think part of it is that Joe was such a kind man people really did love him and when producers did the daunting task of getting info about him and his life (including family, friends, those involved in his boxing career and very personal things about him) people that knew him were very eager and willing to help them. There is a mountain of facts and stories about his boxing life and his personal life in this film made soon after he died. It is really remarkable. Hats off to these producers and those involved in putting this film together.

    Joe Louis was the most powerful and fastest punching heavyweight boxer in ring history. His great hand speed, especially in combination, was awesome to behold. He had a powerful jab, threw every punch perfectly and with wasteless accuracy. His right cross, thrown short and straight, was sheer dynamite. The "Brown Bomber" never ducked anyone as his record 25 title defenses attests to. Of those 25 successful defenses, 21 were won by knockout, 17 of those were ten counts! 5 in the first round! He also knocked out six men who held the Heavyweight Championship of the World. From 1934 to 1949, when he first retired as champion, his record was 60-1 with 51 knockouts. He held the Heavyweight Championship for a record of nearly 12 years. Joe Louis was and still is the GREATEST heavyweight in history! Screw your opinions I have a college degree; My boxing history goes before John L Sullivan stupid!

      Throughout Heavyweight history, there may have been a few harder punchers and better boxers than Louis, but he combined them perfectly. That is something that cannot be said about any other Heavyweight Champ in history. He could adjust and adapt to any type of style he was confronted with. It was suicide to move towards him, and no way any fighter could beat him by running from him. He was dangerous inside and outside, he could win by slugging and trading, and had the ring savvy to out think and Box his opponent. Louis was the consummate Boxer-Puncher.

    JOE LOUIS. The greatest knockout artist in boxing history. Many, many other great boxers on that list. All are behind this fellow, in my opinion. Joe Louis was trained by Jack Blackburn. Terrific trainer. He and Louis worked together long and hard in the gym perfecting the art of Joe's punching. Nobody ever put his punches together in a more devastating fashion than Joe Louis.
    A sharpshooter with dynamite in his blows; throwing them at his opponents in rapid fire combination - seemingly at will. Flawless. Want to learn how to correctly throw a jab, hook, straight right hand, overhand right, uppercuts, body shots, etc.? Watch Joe Louis. A hard hitting heavyweight with perfect delivery of his blows. Louis is the definition of a textbook puncher; a truly superb knockout artist. Indeed, the best ever.

    My Great Uncle, Kingfish Levinsky and my grandmother, Leapin Lena are in your film. She was just nominated for The International Women's Boxing Hall of Fame.She passed away when I was just 4 yrs. old and this was the first time I've heard her speak and saw my father when he was young behind her. By any chance would you have any other footage of them?

    A Boxing Note:
    1. Braddock took everything Joe had and pushed Joe to the floor.
    2. The next round Joe's "radial" punches caught up with Braddock.
    3. At 28: 23...You can see clearly Braddock slowed down tremendously
    - less than (1/2) his speed - that he showed in the previous round.
    In fact he slightly stumbled coming out for the next round.
    His feet were becoming to feel heavy.
    4. This is the subsequent effect of a "radial punch".
    Point:
    Braddock was "put away". TKO by Lewis!
    All the best,

    Joseph "Joe" Louis RIP. Legends of the Boxing ring will forever be remembered with honor, respect and glory. Louis, the Legendary heavyweight Brown Bomber of Lafayette, Alabama, standing at a tall 6ft-2 with a total of 70 fights, 66 Big Wins and 52 awesome KOs with a loss that he avenged and two others under well worthy foes like the Great Rocky Marciano, as well as a single no-contest of a fight is one of the best and the best from his era. Louis also managed to produced 6 fights of the year in which he won 5 of them while avenging the other.
    With Honors given to Heroes and Presidents, Joe was honored in the same way after he passed away in April 12, 1981 at an early age of 66 but the world has Louis in the pedestal of the Halls of Fame from the World for all to behold in awe. It was an uncomfortable time for Joe Louis as an athlete and as a minority during those regretful moments in our history pages of America that we have managed to come along way from.
    World War 2 saw a lot of our boys go and not return yet this did not stop the patriotism of Joe Louis who enlisted as a private for the US Army as well as fighting a numerous charity bouts fights for the US Navy.
    It was a tough life and a tough career for Joe who struggled against many barriers to just get his title shot and scored gold during his 32nd pro bout in where he KOd the HW Champ James Braddock in the 8th and It had been along time since the world at that time to see an integrated fight between a white person and a foe of color. After becoming Champion there was nothing stopping the Brown Bomber from exploding. Louis had a long 13-stretch of title defenses that the media nicknamed and placed Joes fallen rivals in a disrespectful and unprofessional list of who they referred to as "Bums of the month". Long Live the memory of Joe Lewis for you will be remembered "For ALL Time".

    Holmes had 2 week notice in the fight with Tyson, in an interview Holmes explained that he only trained for those 2 weeks.
    Tillis gave Tyson a good fight, what you call ''running'' most boxers like Ali called dancing.
    Tillis gave a young prime Tyson one hell of a fight. I had it 6 rounds to 4 for Tyson, like most judges.
    You can't name me anything specific that has changed in boxing styles since ''peek a boo'' because nothing has changed.

    If Louis wanted to fight, that's one story, but if he had to get in the ring and get mashed up to pay the bills to the IRS, that's genuinely sad. He was a real lady's man. When he grew a moustache he looked quite dashing.

      IRS, was TOTALLY unfair to Joe. At one time, he was being taxed at 90%. Horrible way to treat a man that did so much for this rotten country. Luckily, he had friends.
