What kind of obsticles did Joe louis overcome

Excellent question. I don't think there's a boxing fan out there that doesn't pine for the days when each weight division had one, easily identifiable champion. Problems arise, basically, due to money. Well, money and politics.

Promoters seem to think that nobody will turn up or tune in for a fight without a world title attached to it, so a whole host of chancers invented their own organisations until we ended up in the ridiculous situation we have now with any number of 'world' titles. Of these, there are four that have any semblance of credibility - WBA, WBO, WBC and IBF.

What you're seeing now is fighters going for the big fights regardless of which body sanctions it because those fights, like Pacquiao-Cotto for instance, are the ones that the public want to see and, consequently, are where the money is.

Right now is Floyd mayweter jr his 41-0

Joe Calzaghe 46 - 0 , the undefeated world super middleweight champion is the longest reigning world title holder in boxing history.

He retired after a professional boxing career spanning almost two decades which saw him unbeaten in 18 years as a professional and amateur boxer.

Joe's record of having won all his 46 professional fights means that he retires as Britain's only ever undefeated world champion in boxing (having held a world title for just two weeks short of eleven years) or indeed any in other major sport.

I may be wrong, but I think there was no limit on the number or rounds in bare knuckle boxing, so that a match would likely end with a knockout. Boxing gloves and round limits were among several additions intended to make boxing more humane.

Nothing more than Vasoline or petroleum jelly. It makes the boxing glove slide off the angles of the face and makes it harder to land an off-set punch or miss and not tear the skin.

including the ring magazine belt, he had 10, and those include his last three fights when no sanctioning belt was on the line (except the wbu which nobody cares about).

in 1973, he beat joe frazier for the title, made two successful defenses before losing to ali in Zaire.

in 1991 he lost to evander holyfield.

in 1994 he beat Michael moorer for the ibf, wba and ring magazine linear titles.

the wba stripped him, but he defended the ibf belt in a disputed decision over axel schultz. three more fights only involved the ring belt.

Argello died around 3:00 AM local time on July 1, 2009, after he allegedly shot himself through the heart according to a report from Channel 8, National Television. The National Police have confirmed the death, but are still waiting the results of the autopsy.

No, he has HIV unfortunately which means he cannot compete in boxing for obvious reasons. But he is still with us.

The term "haymaker" came into being because the path of the punch mimics the appearance of a scythe which was often used to manually cut hay. The scythe was used to chop it down before the hay was formed into bales.

Ideally, you wanna compete in some amateur events before turning professional, but it's not unheard of just going straight to professional and learning there.

Please reword the question adding who the postcard is signed by.

Joe Louis won the Heavyweight Championship when he stopped James J. Braddock in the 8th round on June 22, 1937. Louis announced his retirement on March 1, 1949, so he held the belt 11 Years, 8 months and 7 days.

After all my research the right answer is "Don King".

manny pacquiao by far because look at what Floyd did to hatton then look at what pacquiao did to hatton, pacquiao is very explosive when he wants to be, and he never stops throwing those punches.

also people will say look at his record, but he only started to develop and peak at a later stage, and hes proved himself at most weight classes

jack Johnson before him was the first black boxer to win the heavyweight title, and in Johnson's day, you also had sam langford, joe jeanette, sam mc vey etc fighting.

Canadian boxer george godfrey was before that again, back in the bare knucke days.

2 times per day. ususally between 2 and 3 hours per session.

Nobody really knows..Sonny Liston didn't have a birth certificate, so nobody knows how old he was ever. He claimed he was 31 when he fought Ali, but everybody thought he looked much older than that.

I know their are 5 rocky movies 4 of them are pretty old then they came out with a new one a few years ago

Sonny Liston in 1964, George Foreman in 1974, and Leon Spinks in 1978.

He fights right-handed

Tyson, but arguments could be made for Riddick Bowe too (he turned pro in 1989, as did lewis).
