World heavyweight boxing champion from 1937 to 1949, the longest reign in heavyweight history. Known as the "Brown Bomber," he became a symbol of American strength.
"He can run, but he can't hide."
"Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die."
"Once that bell rings you're on your own. It's just you and the other guy."
"Why would I want to do anything else? This is what I was born to do."
He can run, but he can't hide.
— Joe Louis
Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.
Once that bell rings you're on your own. It's just you and the other guy.
Why would I want to do anything else? This is what I was born to do.
