Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali were treated fairly?

This writer’s opinion on the two largest heavyweight champions was Joe ‘The Brown Bomber’ Louis and Muhammad ‘The Greatest’ Ali.

For everything they contributed to boxing, every year lost from their boxing activity.

From Louis, the maximum achievement of boxing was a record of twenty-five defenses of the title. Its final record was 66-3 with 52 knockouts. Born in Lafayette, Alabama, like Joe Louis Barrow, then he would fight Detroit, Michigan.

Louis was 54-4 as an amateur as a light heavy weight, winning the Chicago Champions Tournament and the AAU national titles.

On July 4, 1934, Louis became a professional, gaining his first 24 fights, 20 of which were by Knockout. Then the world champion of the NBA, Max Schmeling, 48-7-4, of Germany.

On June 22, 1937, in Commiskey Park, Chicago, Il, Louis detained the world champion James ‘The Cinderella Man’ J. Braddock, 50-25-7, had to leave the canvas in the first round to stop the champion in 8 rounds. He stated that he would never be considered a champion until he beat Schmeling.

In Louis’s fourth defense, he eliminated Schmeling, 52-7-4, at Yankee Stadium, Bronx, New York.

In June 1941, Louis had to come behind in two cards and even to the other to stop the lightweight heavy weight champion Billy ‘Pittsburgh’ Con, 58-9-1, in 13 rounds at Polo Grounds, New York. He made three defenses, bringing the total to 21 before entering the army.

On January 8, 1942, Louis enlisted in the United States Army. Would be inactive for almost 3 years. On June 19, 1946, he reselled with Conn, marking a tie in the eighth round at New York’s Yankee Stadium.

Louis fought in 96 exhibitions for more than two million troops and raised $ 100,000 for relief purposes. Your tax debt was approaching $ 500,000. In 1950, the IRS 1950 began to accumulate interest each year.

Louis had to leave his retirement to pay his tax debt. The IRS never considered the exhibitions he fought.

Looking at the punishment of Muhammad Ali not to enter the United States Army.

In March 1969, New York’s boxing commission revoked Ali’s license in September 1970. This was due to be convicted of a crime or due to a military crime or to reject induction in the United States army.

It cost years of inactivity until he fought Oscar Bonavena after receiving a license from the New York Commission in 1970.
