According to Mike Marley. "The documentary looks at Louis’ life inside and outside the ring. It will also detail the impact Louis had socially on an America that was racially segregated." "The 90-minute documentary will debut at 8 pm, ET, 9 pm PT, so that East Coast viewers will see the Louis program before the fight and those on the West Coast will view it after the bout." Some more information: http://www.c21media.net/news/detail.asp?area=4&article=38839 "A second one-off doc, Joe Louis: America's Hero… Betrayed (1x75'), is a biography of the champion heavyweight boxer, from his birth to ex-slaves to becoming a great iconographic hero during the Depression to his active service during the Second World War. The film features interviews with subjects including former US president Jimmy Carter, poet Maya Angelou and actor Jerry Lewis. Joe Louis is exec-produced by Ross Greenberg and Rick Bernstein."
I know you were. Maskaev's re-located to Sacramento...maybe his title defense will, as well. Is Ibragimov a U.S. citizen?
He's up there, certainly in terms of accomplishments and offensive abilities. No doubt. But he was too slow of foot and mediocre of chin to be considered the Greatest IMHO. However, his is probably the most asthetically pleasing style of fighting ever...and dominating boxings top division for 12 years is something special.
If a cat was born in an oven, would it be a cookie? Maskaev is a bludclaat Russian and I don't wanna here differently!!::
No clue, never had any interest in Ibragimov to care what he claims to represent. :: The only reason I remember it about Maskaev was that he took offense to the way his fight w/ Rahman was promoted, that Rock was supposed to be the last line of defense for the US (:laughing: ) when in fact it was two American citizens fighting for the title (his words, or to that effect)
If a cat were born in the oven, it'd be lunch, and served in 10 minute. agREED on your point... how many different heritages do you claim again? ::
:: It's funny... In Canada, I'm English. In Trinidad, I'm English living in Canada, but in England, I'm Trinidadian! ::
I figured that's what you were implying, but Maskaev doesn't have much relation to the HBO card that the doc will be leading to...so I figured I'd see if the same was true of Ibragimuffin. BTW, I'm surprised noobody has commented on the title yet: "Joe Louis: America's Hero… Betrayed"
As a self proclaimed sophisticated man from the UK who down talks how Yanks spell and use words wrong,yet yourself spells "HEAR" as here
yes, I realized that after I typed everything out :doh: ... please completely disregard everything I said (as everyone else does already)
