    The blow was low not on the b*lls but still technically a low blow. Sharkey on Schmeling that was on the b*lls

    Nat Fleischers Pictorial History of Boxing has a series of pictures that show that the punch that stopped Schmeling landed on his hip and not his groin

    Schmeling took a vicious low blow from Joe Louis, I believe in the round before or the round where he stopped Louis.

    Louis said it was an accident.

    I'm always suspicious of fighters who foul when they are on their way out or in some trouble.

    I'll have to rewatch that fight. Louis always seemed like a very clean fighter to me. If he did do it, he may have just panicked or survival instinct took over he was in a terribly brutal fight, probably the first time he was under such extreme adversity.

    Louis was a squeeky clean fighter he was out of it when he hit Schmeling low,after being told about it by Blackburn, he sent him to Max's dressing room to apologise to Schmeling.Baer hit Louis after the bell and after Joe had dropped his hands,Louis just looked at him with contempt and walked to his corner.

    More like I'm honest about his ring career, but nice try fool. You don't rate Louis in your top 3, do you? Using your logic, you must be baised against him too.

    Louis also fouled Schmeling in the re-match with a kidney shot. Yeah, Max turned around and that was his fault, but to suggest Louis was above taking advantage of the situation is silly.

    While Louis did apologize for the low blow in the first fight, the timing of it stinks, as he was on the way out and needed a break.

    No, I rate Louis at number 4, behind Jack Dempsey a white heavyweight,a group whom you say I am biased against! Louis did not foul Schmeling, Schmeling was on the ropes and turned away from the action thereby causing the foul himself,similar to your current hero Wlad, when he turned away from Sam Peter. Louis was a clean fighter . But he is a criminal to you, his crime ? He was BLACK!

    When all you have left is go ad hominem that says it all. I have been at ESB longer than you have. I never said anything remotely like your suggesting, but we know you have to say it to make yourself feel better.

    A reverse racist like yourself is just as bad as a real one, who by the way would never rank Ali #1 and Holmes #2 as I do. No need to repeat what Ali or Holmes said. These were my positions long before you chose to spend your afternoons here getting you @ss handed to you by other posters.

    Nice try again Tony.

    I'm not remotely racist in anyway I don't give a flying f*ck what colour a human being is. I'm White ,why would I be racist against myself ? Explain how that works? I really enjoy you showing yourself up for the piece of work you are ,keep it up!
    "Near the end of the fifth ,we were fighting near my corner.Schmeling started a right,and the bell rang when his hand was in mid- air.
    As I turned around to go to my corner I got smashed on the jaw.
    When I staggered back to my corner I didn't know where I was. My ears were ringing and I don't even know if I knew who I was."
    Later in his dressing room.
    ",When I came around,Roxie was talking to me.I asked him what I was doing wrong?I didnt hear a thing he was saying until he said I hit Schmeling a couple of low blows.That made me feel even worse.I sent Roxie over to Schmeling's dressing room to apologize for me and to tell himI didn't intentionally hit him low.WhenRoxie came back ,he said Schmeling was real nice about it,and he understood I didn't and wouldn't pull a low blow on purpose". From" Joe Louis My Life".


    Care to tell us in which other fights Louis fouled opponents when he was in trouble?
    Did he do it against Buddy Baer1, Billy Conn 1, JJW 1& 2,Tony Galento?

    You are shameful do you know that?

    I would recommend that! I don't reply to him for anyone else's benefit!
    Just read my other content,[ over 70,000 messages,]not my responses to Mendozy.I believe my input there is sufficient to keep me relevant on this forum ,should I be apprised differently I will have no difficulty in taking my leave.

    As I said I think I contribute positively to this forum and make relevant points, my last but one on this thread is an illustration of this imo. Anyone, [except the moron,] is free to disagree with me.
