Just watched the Joe Louis Documentary on HBO..

...and even though I knew a fair amount about Louis before watching this special, I thought the documentary was very good....but VERY SAD.

It is worth taking a peak at.

yep

I saw the second half, will have to watch the whole thing. But pretty much stuff I knew already.

Having said that it is a good watch, especially for younger people that really don't know anything more, than they heard Louis is the best heavyweight ever.

It gives a great insight into a man of great character, and a time in America when things were different.

Joe Louis Barrow is a national treasure and icon, who should have been treated better.

I never knew Louis was "involved" with so many famous women!!!

He was a PIZIMP!!!

Great documentary, my grandmother used to tell me stories about Joe Louis as a child.

Is it just me or did his son seem like a dick?

I'm going to make a dvd of this documentary for my mom. She was a huge Louis fan.

I would have loved to see a MYTHICAL MATCHUP of Louis-Toney at
200 LBS.

Yeah I know Louis slaughters him....BLAH BLAH BLAH

I think it would be an interesting matchup.
