Toles also last to Pastor in May of 1939. Hard to see why Louis should have fought Toles rather than Pastor.
So I take it you and Mendoza agree that Louis drew the color line. This paragraph is hard to decipher. John Lardner apparently asks Mike Jacobs...
You posted the following, which is what I responded to. "if Jacobs was prejudiced against blacks why did he take up Louis' cause?" Well, the...
You are putting a spin on the word "prejudice" that I didn't intend. Jacobs backed many black fighters so his actions were not racially...
Y You throw the term "avoiding" around gratuitously. Louis was in the military from 1942 to 1945. Accept that. He was not free to defend his...
The use of language is interesting. The men Louis fights are bums. Seven men Louis doesn't fight are The Magnificant Seven. These are not even...
"klompton2" But you are accepting the assumption, or prejudice, by Mike Jacobs that two black fighters would not draw as true. That is what I...
Just on Louis' purses for his title defenses Indoor defenses Nathan Mann---$40,522 Harry Thomas---$16,659 John H. Lewis---$34,413 Arturo...
In fairness, I don't agree with your basic anti-Louis premises and support your critics for the most part concerning Louis and his title reign.

This rating bit is odd. 1945 Bivins #3 Ray #4 but #1 was Conn. #2 was Mauriello. 1946 Ray #2 Murray #5 Sheppard #6 but #1 was Mauriello, #3...
"Eddie Blunt" "Tony Galento" Baer didn't get KO'd by Blunt, which was far less damaging to his rep. Galento had lost over the last four years...
Give it a break. You put down Buddy Baer as an opponent although Baer was coming off a stoppage of Galento. Your case is starting to devolve...
This blows even the last frayed threads of the tenuous case for claiming Louis "ducked" Franklin out of the water.
I think the Toles bout is less a case of revisionism than a dispute. Box rec lists the Toles fight as an exhibition. The Cyber Boxing Zone...
