Joe Louis of Detroit - Heavyweight Champion

While at the 2018 Detroit Autorama at the Cobo Center in Detroit, this statue of the heavyweight boxer Joe Louis in the lobby caught my attention.

Joseph Louis Barrow, 1914-1981. Born in Alabama, his family moved to Detroit in 1926 when Joe was twelve. It's not certain why he dropped Barrow from his boxing name, but some believe it was to keep his teenage boxing activities a secret from his mother.

Louis, known as the Brown Bomber, was the heavyweight boxing champion from 1937-1949. In 2005 he was named the greatest heavyweight of all time by the International Boxing Research Organization. Louis carries a phenomenal heavyweight record of 65 wins and just 3 losses.
