this is weird, they're saying his funeral was free, I read that the "evil Nazi boy" Schmähling actually was a long time friend of Louis after the war and onwards, and that it was him who paid for Jou Louis funeral and helping Joe in other ways?!

@k4n31985 I have 2 documentaries uploaded about the Louis-Schmeling story. One you can see on the right "The Fight-Louis vs Schmeling"

@EndlessLaymon Ali's skill was very questionable?? Wow. Ali patterned his style on Sugar Ray Robinson and was blessed with a lot of the athletic gifts like incredible hand and foot speed. He didn't have the best defence but when he was in his prime his reflexes compensated for that. He had amazing accuracy and could fight outside or on the ropes. Didn't work the body much but he could take a punch and dominated the greatest HW era. So get over yourself.

yes, schmelling wasn't a racist. he was a victim of the nazi party. he helped louis out a great deal financially  towards the end and yes helped with the funeral

'The Dark Destroyer', is a nickname that Nigel Benn revelled in stealing from Joe Louis and he also revelled in using the phrase 'Spank The Yank'. Racism has nothing to do with colour, it's about national pride.

I think its an absoloute disgrace how the American goverment treated Joe Louis!!! Especially after the contribution he made during the war!!! Disgusting

[kenomy66]

What Joe Louis said at 1:03:29 was right, Ali was pro separatist at that time

[shoulderollHD]

Fuck america!!!

Dey shit on louis after all he done

[Lava1964]

Excellent documentary. I agree with some posters that Max Schmeling isn't portrayed accurately. From all accounts, Schmeling was a gentleman and was very generous is assisting Joe Louis late in his life.

Don king would of loved to promote louis schmelling 2 lol.

[Nathan2345678]

Fuck the government.

[vidnut67]

How Louis responded to the Schmeling loss is proof of his standing as an all-time great regardless of weight classification. For most fighters, a beating like that would mean the end, and by Louis' own admission he remembered nothing after round five. To come back, win the title, and defend it twenty-five times over twelve years? Incredible.

Excellent Upload ibhof2 It's a Beautiful story thanks for sharing

@TheJasonX: The top marginal tax rate was slightly over 90% for most of the years between 1942 and 1964. By far most of Louis' income was definitely in the top tax bracket, so the figure makes sense.
