Joe Louis pro record corrected

Post by kareemabdullah »

Joe Louis' real record is 69-3 with 55 ko's. There are three fights that you guys at boxrec havent included. He had 3 ko wins over the following

Apr 25 Roscoe Toles Flint, Mi KO 6
May 3 Willie Davis Peoria, Il KO 2
May 7 Gene Stanton Kalamazoo, Mi KO 3

Some people don't include louis' win over johnny davis as they have it down as an exibition but as the new york state athletic commission sanctioned it as a world title fight, you should have it as a defence of the title like you do his other defences. Please add the fights above, if you want to do research on them then you can email the people at this site

The Johnny Davis fight is on BoxRec, mind you. Technically it was a 'fight', but at the end of the day it was a known exhibition so it sort of takes away from Louis's career record. CBZ is more in depth, as far as exhibitions, amateur fights, etc. but as for pro fights, BoxRec is where it stands.
