    Well Joe Luis wasn't perfect of course. He turned his back on Jack Johnson when he offered to help him for the first Schmeling fight.

    And I'm not sure why not paying taxes makes someone a hero in America.

    In the UK one of our greatest living jockey's Lester Piggot didn't pay his taxes and we threw his ass in jail and stripped him of his OBE

    And talking about Luis being forced to fight beyond his prime, Piggot came back to race after prison and finally retired at 60!
