joe louis in later life....

As a rule, the man was cheated like **** by boxing, we were not worthy of him.

The only reason I liked Quincy was because of Louis; the main reason Pro Wrestling has a place in my heart is because they treated boxing legends as royalty (Louis obviously included).

 

Those stories about Joe Louis getting hustled on the golf courses, for some
pretty big bucks too, in Michigan, Illinois and later in Los Angeles.

Pathetic.

 

Watch the documentary American Hero Betrayed.

 

Drugs are fun.

Good on him.

 

I read that he thought that a CIA assassin that he called "The Texan" was after him.

 

Possibly. It's impossible to say.

I do know the only people I've ever known who ended up suffering long-term from these serious paranoias were users of cocaine or speed or other strong stimulant-type drugs .
Put it this way : using cocaine heavily certainly didn't help his mental state.
