He’s the greatest heavyweight of all times by far he has the credentials and the International Boxing Organization through scientific studies concluded that Joe Louis is the greatest heavyweight boxer of all times. 25 title defenses 22 of them were won by KO’s and held the title for 12 years he’s the best to ever do it!

He's number one in my book greatest heavy weight champion of all time the brown bomber Joe Louis!🥊

@@John-vn1tv Mine too. Simply not just a great boxer & patriot...but a great (not perfect) human being. Greatly appreciated...greatly missed...one of my two Hero's.

@@BrotherPatriot Joe Louis was inspiration to millions of Americans both black and white. A true patriot and American.

@@aarondigby5054

Learned about him through KZfaq! A hell if a fighter.

@@drummerboy1545 if it wasn't for YT you ssying you'd never would've heard of Joe Louis, I think if you'd heve watched HW boxing in the future you'd have heard of Joe Louis the Brown Bomber

WoW 😳 He was the heavyweight champion for a mind boggling 12 straight years... There's no one out there now who will even sniff that record) there may never be ever!!!

@@aarondigby5054 yeah you are right about that one...

Wow!!! I want to thank the producer for bringing awareness to the Melanated people... I had never heard of these men until today and I must say... this is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen... my son will be doing his next essay on Mr. Joe Louis... Here’s a toast to the producers 😘

@@sxywzplease1396 it's always about melanin.

I think of Louis everytime i poop

Marciano died in a horrible plane crash. Some people say the mob tampered with the plane because Marciano didn't want to comply but his manager was already involved because the mobs hands had tentacles that reached into all aspects of sports gambling. Now you know the rest of the story.

Even if you didn't like Rocky you wouldn't wish nothing like an airplane crash to be the cause of his death.

If it was true they made him pay for his father's asylum stay, that was some fuck shit (please excuse my language lol)! I already felt some type of way about him having having to fight beyond his prime and ending up broke in his last years due in large part to taxes. Especially after all that service to his "country".

@@lionzion17 Joe, like to gamble and chase women. He fucked off a lot of his money, but yes, this government did Joe, like a dog.

I hear those asylums were a huge thing back then. A strange phenomenon, perhaps someone could explain?

@@srebrnimedved they really need asylums nowadays, thanks to Ronnie Reagan for cutting funding for mental health at that time , he slashed the education budget, calling ketsup a third vegetable. Now we need thise sanitariums, mental health is still til this day on the backburner.

Iike Inoue & the Dragon.

Thank you so much 😀

You mean the 20th century?

No you’re underestimating his punching power, Joe Louis broke Max Schmeling’s vertebrae in his back in two with a left hook to the body. He knocked Jimmy Braddock’s teeth through his gum shield was one of the most powerful right hands i ever seen on film his punches for feel like bombs 💣 hence why he was called the “Brown Bomber “.

HE WAS BIRACIAL. NOT BLACK BLACK.

Of course you mean 60'ish matches, correct? He retired with 58 wins to 1 loss...and that should be how he should be remembered, before he was forced to come out of retirement due to the IRS's Bullshit. Thus ending his career with 68 wins and 3 losses.

It’s very F’d Up.

Louis never cried about it. Why are you?

Louis never paid for a meal the last 20 years of his life. And the IRS forgave his debt you think they would do the same for you ha ha ha ha. Like most boxers he blew through all his money on women Winans song

@@Ryan2022 Saying "Louis never cried about it. Why are you?" is not a great argument especially when Louis was better off financially than most black people in that time in America.

@@Ryan2022 You’re wrong you goddamn damn 🤡 Louis wasn’t a trick he had women throwing the 📦 at him base off him being a famous boxer Gene Harlow and Lena Horne was crazy about him and use to go to a lot of his fights. Stop getting on this internet lying you weirdo incel.

Working hard, massa started breeding farms for the slaves in 1830 when Britian outlawed international slave trade: the Trans Atlantic slave trade increasing the onslaught of piracy on the Atlantic Ocean. Terrible times where one thing lead to the advent of more terrible occurrences.

That’s not true, Johnson had to chase Burns around the world just to fight him so that information that you read is wrong.

I never heard none of this always heard Burns was a racist your info has to be wrong

That still didn't stop the American society from being psychopathically racist and outright CRUEL against him.

@@truthhitman7473 nobody disagrees with you my friend. By saying what Reba said is no way downplaying that... in fact it's more of a comment that displays the great character of Joe, because what Reba is saying without having to explicitly say it, is that despite of the obvious and disgusting treatment of Joe, and black Americans in general, he would still protect the statues as he was a deep patriot, had such an honorable character and stood up for what was right! Nobody denies that racism is America's greatest sin, and has the most atrocious, barbaric history. However, of the millions of slaves that were being shipped and sold by their fellow Africans, America bought 300,000, where as the majority, almost half I believe, definitely more than a third which I believe would be around 1.2 million slaves were bought by south American countries, namely, and predominantly the big Spanish/Portuguese countries. And the rest were sold to European countries. America made it illegal to own slaves before every other country on earth at the time, as every other country with any worth participated in the slave trade... the countries who couldnt afford African slaves enslaved their own peoples. This obviously didnt stop slavery or racism immediately, and it's still present in the quiet murmurings of sick, disgusting, ignorant people. However the presence and prevalence of today's society is being pushed as a completely false explosion that is still burning as hot as it was 60 years ago, when this is patently false and unfortunately is actually creating and putting us back into segregated groups, while labeling everyone even remotely moderate/centrist politically or to the right on any subject as racists if they say anything other than racism is burning like a red hot fire just like when it was at its worst, even going as far as to say it's worse than it's ever been. I'm not saying you believe this, but by saying what you said you're kind of accusing Reba of ignoring the fact that it was hell for black people for far too long in Americas history. And I believe today, with the majority of the top entertainers, actors, sports personalities, musical artists and other kinds of art, comedians and almost all celebrated aspects of society are dominated by black people, which is fantastic and completely the opposite of what was 100 years ago an almost unlivable place.. now we are focusing on denigrating white people for their ancestors horrific yet unrelated lifestyles to them. If it's just as bad my question is how in the world to you get a black president???? By segregation of ourselves from each other by always putting people into the box of their skin colour I'm afraid that racism is going to increase and become a real problem again, then people will see that what we have today is the most equal society on earth. Not to say we couldnt improve, but we should not be ashamed of who we are. And no white person should ever have to apologise for their skin colour, MLK was saying this very thing at the height of the civil rights movement. Yet it's okay to do it to white people because even white babies are born inherently racist apparently. This is disgusting to think that we are regressing to a past but just opposite, creating so so much more racial tension which is abhorrent and anyone pushing those narratives should be ashamed when they look at the state of america today and then think about the harmony in comparison 6 years ago or so. Not perfection, not everywhere but 99.9% or more and today still nobody thinks racism is right apart from like 30 people (hyperbole) but it's so few of the population. And nobody talks about all the white people sold into slavery for thousands and thousands of years. My fear, and many others: If we forget, and tear down our past then we are doomed helplessly to repeat it!

Max get's a bad rap for being a Nazi. He did sneak people out of Germany during Hitler's rein.

Max was never a nazi

I don’t think max was a card carrying member of the party very brave of him I think

@@petecernan2568 There’s photos of Max doing the Nazi salute so stop lying man.

@@bossplayermfs5972 there’s photos of the England football team saluting and a few of myself I think, doesn’t make you a nazi what would you have done? Joe Louis was shit on by the us government and relied on financial help from people including max

Today it is, back then Boxing didn't have as many weight classes so it was a more common sight. There were only 8 divisions back then: there are 17 divisions now.

Only 3 devisions light weight middle weight Heavy Weight

@@lukaobahdiaa246 huh?

He hit like a fucking train

It isn't really unusual, in most cases most very larg heavyweights sacrifice things with size such as balance etc, they're top heavier and not as fast as well and it works against them to some degree. Smaller fighters get off with punches quicker and get under and throw punches upward getting them off balance.

I've seen the Johnson/Burns fight in it's entirety, a good fight, Johnson just toyed with Burns the whole fight. Until Burns got lucky and knocked Johnson down then Johnson turned up the amps and knocked Burns out.

Ali, was great, but he was NOTHING compared to Joe Louis and Jack Johnson. A look at their old fights will verify that. However, Ali, was nothing to play with.

Yes hes number 1 as well its many numbers 1

The brown boomer Joe number 1

Joe Louis is #1

What he overcame will never be duplicated, no man can catch his resume. Not my favorite, but the greatest. Of course, no question.

$25 a week in the 1930's was good pay, wasn't no inflation. Rent in the south was $5-10 a month.

Whatever.

Jack Johnson is one of the bravest men to ever live

@@conor9345 it takes an asshole to say Jack Johnson was an asshole. He wanted to live free, not be discriminated against because of the color of his skin and given an opportunity to fill out his dreams and become world HW champion

@@conor9345 Jack Johnson a true hero and legend. Nobody did it better, a true bad ass.

Jack Johnson was no A Hole, where did you get that BS?

BS. He held the title for 11 years and 8 months...and defended the title 25 times.

@@BrotherPatriot I stand corrected.

@@BrotherPatriot Holmes highly underrated, a great ambassador for boxing, a decent family man, mentored by Ali. Give Larry his due.

@@aarondigby5054 My reply stands...and it doesn't take anything away from Holmes. Just that the Brown Bomber did hold the title longer and defended it more times, is all my reply was trying to point out. I have GREAT respect for Holmes and all the rest of the greats of the past for what they accomplished during their time.

@@brandonthomas9288 I believe Larry Holmes held the title for 7.5 yrs and 20 successive title defenses. Larry was robbed in both Mike Spinks fight, he never was in any trouble. Larry dropped Spinks to one knee during the second fight, the judges didn't like the disparaging but truthful remarks Holmes said about Rocky Marciano during the weigh-in

I understand where you are coming from but I don't think Joe was drugged during his first fight with Max. Max simply studied the reels of film (rare to do back then) and saw Joe's weakness....him dropping his left after a jab, which made him susceptible to the right cross. Also, Joe lost to Ezzard Charles on his first fight trying to come back after retirement due to the money he owed to the IRS's bullshit of taxing him to death for his generosity of giving away several of his 1st place prize purses to the Army & Navy relief funds...which was such a LOW thing to do to such a patriotic boxer. So for me, Joe's REAL stats are 56 wins and 1 loss to Max...but after retirement his official record is 66 wins and 3 losses. When Joe fought Marciano, he was but a shadow of his former self (due to the stresses of life, the taxes and his drug use) with basically only his left jab left in his arsenal of what he used to be. Prime Joe...beats prime anyone, in my book...but we all have our opinions.

Joe didn't take Schmelling seriously and Schmelling a good student of the game studied Joe and was prepared, but I felt that second fight was fishy because how could Max be taken down so easily in the rematch after masterfully beating Joe the first time. Joe was a good student also. It's hard to beat a great champion twice.

@@BrotherPatriot Ali, Jack Johnson and Joe Louis, the three best, they can argue and note opinions about all the rest, Dempsey, Frazier, Foreman, Tyson, Holmes, Norton, Liston etc,...

@@aarondigby5054 That's all debatable regarding the top 3...but for me...#1 will forever be a prime Brown Bomber...! Cheers...!!! :D
