    Joe never paid his taxes.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    You may have pulled 'a full boner' here Master.

    Joe Louis' taxes were automatically taken out in his bout with James Braddock.

    That is how the Fight Contract was written.

    Joe was 'safe' on this one.
