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

Hear this so much from so called boxing "experts" who post here. Rocky fought the best boxers of his era, and deserves to be in the top 10 greatest heavyweights of all time. Too bad Joe Louis had to come back and fight to pay for his IRS back taxes, that was a shame for a man who did so much for his country, i.e. served in WW2, which by the way, was something Ali was not willing to do.

a young louis would never be caught in that situation he would stand back and throw his excellent jabs, winning on decision this joe louis was having trouble conditioning and was fighting for money that was robbed of him by the IRS, that my friend is what the whites did to blacks even the ones who helped america a great deal like louis

ali would stop marciano like he did with much bigger and stronger opponents who also had longer reach than ali and marciano( liston, foreman,shavers) ali would get marciano not only cut but a tko........lets not forget that styles make fights the only reason louis lost was cause he was a textbook fighter and marciano just liked to bomb people with his heavy hits ..............no way in hell would that work on ali lol and if you think it would watch more fights

that's an accurate statement..never mind opinion.

meh joe louis in his prime wouldnt beat marciano in my opinion.

Someone's been watching too many computer generated matches on the net, saltsprings.
Joe Lewis should never have gotten in the ring. He was WAY over his prime.
