isnt it funny that of the supposed 51-8, an excellent record numerically, all the fights we can find are losses lol
louis was a fiction writer, his son even admitted he liked to romanticize himself. unless youre guillable it's obvious what happened.
In doing my research I never relied on anything dad said or wrote except to lead me to additional, hopefully objective, sources. But being LL's son has often resembled the movie Big Fish, where I knew to take his stories with a grain of salt. Actually researching his life has taught me that there was a great deal of truth to the stories he told.
As for the comment, "all we can find are losses lol," that's nothing more than an argument of ignorance: the implication that because something hasn't been found must automatically mean its false.
the people back then (after the Civil War ( 1866) and The Great Depression-1930's and earlier )really use to fight a lot just to survive.
paricularly if they had to ride on ( or under) trains just to get around to find some type of a job available.
Do you expect some "Tank Town' that was so small it didnt even have a newspaper to
record any of these people's fights ?
No doubt ,Louis L'Amour had read some of Jim Tully's books and was inspired.
here is some info on Jim Tully.

ya it's almost like nothing actually fits with the tank commander's romantic self inflation as a 51-8 boxer, what little evidence can be found is of him losing. oh well, a relative posted a few times, maybe it's true
are there any known photographs of Louis L'Amour shirtless ?
Maybe if he was really sinewy looking, that would be a great clue.
UP-Date ! just came across an old photograph him prior to a boxing match.
