I dont think Louis drew the color line He stamped it. I believe as boxing goes he's held responsible for puttng the color barrier to rest. We are talkin about one of the best if not the best HW of all time, So just happens to be black. His greatness, his attitude, determination, and the fact that he was a great Champion says he did more than just change then color barrier, He changed boxng forever, He destroyed guys alot fighters wanted to be him, And yes even white guys. Boxing needed Joe Louis and it still shows today.
