Can you read the Joe Louis autobiography online?

Dont be cheap,buy it!

 

I believe it is out of print?

 

Ebay then

 

You can buy it on Amazon I think. Buy it if you can, great read. It reads like the Bomber is actually talking to you personally, it comes accross as very frank and honest.

I lent it to a mate & never got it back...very disappointed...

 

based on this thread, i just bought it on ebay...a first edition copy for a tenner and free postage to ireland....looking forward to it now.

 

well, this came a couple of days ago and i've read up to where he fights carnera so far....
and yes, a great read.
had to smile when i read that his first gym was 'eastside' ....and that holman williams was his first serious trainer.
really looking forward to the rest of it now...thanks for starting this thread or i wouldnt have got it

 

over half way through now hydraulix....it gets better and better...he's given details of nearly a hundred women he's shagged
i am surprised about how he talks about after the first conn fight and before the army how he has lost all interest in boxing.

is the joe frazier one an auto-biography ?

 

also...i love the way he 'talks' in some of it too...

talking about the max baer fight...
"i remember when the bell clanged for the end of the second round, i dropped my hands and the son of a ***** hit me with a left hook and a right hand to my jaw. i stared at him and said to myself : kick his ass now. "


talking about the paulino uzcudun fight...(in the fourth round after uzcudun had gotten up from a knockdown)...
"when he got up i hit him with a left and right to the jaw, sending him against the ropes. i could see his face split open and some of his gold teeth sprinkle down on the canvas. donovan (ref) counted him out on his feet."...."after the fight, trainer whitney bimstien, who worked in uzcudun's corner, told me he never saw anyone hit a man as hard as i hit uzcudun that night."


talking about his dressing room before the bob pastor fight...
"while me and chappie and roxy and four bodygaurds were waiting to enter the ring, jimmy johnson and four big tough-looking guys burst into my dressing room, yelling for me to take off my bandages. my bodygaurds did what they are supposed to - they pulled out their guns; chappie pushed me behind a locker and stood in front of me to protect me."

great reading this

 

here he speaks about the first fight with walcott...
