It has to be acknowledged that Schemling did what very few boxers do... successfully make the transition from boxing career to retirement. Max was a great man who will be very fondly remembered... he was a hero and definitely deserved that recognition! Great man.
Joe Louis was mentally ill and showed signs of it even when he was fighting. I blame the tax man for what happened to Joe when he became broke.
