    Finito, he is right. Joe was a raver and had plenty of women but it was all kept under tabs. He was told never to gloat over a fighter he knocked out which is why he looked stone faced. Johnson ruined it for a lot of black fighters, at the lower weights it was ok to be champion but not at heavyweight.
    Joe Louis pretty much was a white man with dark skin
