There's a bishop in the denomination I grew up in, his name is Richard White nicknamed "Mr. Clean". Recently, his wife passed away and while speaking at her funeral, he mentioned that his father was a sparring partner for Joe Louis. I was trying to see if anyone knew his name?
Here is an interesting list of sparring partners.....but the Joe Louis "sp's" aren't listed on there. http://basementgymboxing.blogspot.com/2014/07/who-were-their-sparring-partners-boxing.html
The only time I seen Louis go easy on sparring partners was while he was in the army. Other then that, there are several clips of him knocking sparring partners out cold.
