@@teddyraffudeen7056 There is a really good movie called "Joe and Max" that documents their two fights and subsequent bromance. Definitely worth a watch if you're interested in this kind of history.

All those exhibition fights for the war effort and when Joe came home the IRS collected all the money for the exhibition fights he gave away to the war effort yet he got hit with the bill for the taxes
Yep. And nobody said a thing. He was broke and broke. The country he Gabe his life to left him to die. His funeral had to be paid by the German he beat.
Dont forget those 2 became friends afterwards and when joe went broke help the community and his so called friends that abandoned him that german fella was there and aided in his funeral
This was the second fight between the two men, Max won the first fight via a 12th round KO. It should be noted that Max was opposed to the Nazi regime, at one point even providing sanctuary and hiding Jews from the Nazis. Joe and Max ended up becoming very close friends and Schmelling helped Louis when he faced financial difficulty in later years, as well as paying towards Joe's funeral costs. There was a TV movie based on their rivalry and friendship "ring of passion" (super sus title lmao). Two great boxers and two great men.
America giving those men nightmares as they represented it and put it on the map athletically is a larger and still ongoing story in my opinion. Not as loveable though.
Maybe you should read Jesse Owens autobiography. In it he said that he was treated with more respect by Adolf Hitler than he was by Franklin Roosevelt. You have been lied to by people who benefit by lying to you.
Jesse Owens was given a autographed photo of Hitler that he was given after winning the gold medal he cherished this photo until he died and by the way Hitler was the one who personally gave it to Owens also he didn't have a good pair of shoes to compete in so Hitler had Addis make him a pair of running shoes
Hitler loved America at that stage. He want Germany to be exactly like America. Louis was treated like a n#gger until the day he died by his own country.
influential friends in the United States helped him to acquire the Coca-Cola franchise for the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany), making him a wealthy man. In the 1950s Schmeling visited Louis in the United States, and the two became good friends.
I read where Schmelling hurt his back in a parachute accident before the fight and that caused him to be physically unable to perform as he should have, but took the fight anyway and lost.
Max Schmeling vs Joe Louis. Both great boxers, Schmeling went on to be a Paratrooper and fought in the Battle of Crete... My grandfather fought on Crete
Whenever I was acting up as a kid my great-grandmother would say “Boy I’m gonna come over there and hit you with one of these Joe Louis licks.” I knew he was a bad man if that was her champ.
WARS should not happen, each state of conflict should pick their own representatives and let the people do the job instead of millions, one on one to have the final decision
@@Xavier_the_Boxing_Nerd you are right especially the Max Schmeling was poster Child of Hitler but they were just two men fighting for a shot at the world title that later became friends.
I’d say the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ were all pretty important and great events, too, but that boxing match was way more importanter than any of those things, I’m sure 🙄
That would make a great movie. Not only the setting but the true nature of the two fighters. Not just showing max as some type of evil Ivan Drago type but someone who just wanted to be the best fighter he could be, while he country was being run by a mad man.
I was ready to laugh at Max Schmelling the first time I saw this because he was from Nazi Germany, but when you actually read about him he had nothing but respect for Joe Louis going into this fight and helped pay for Joe's funeral. Class act.
And still had to deal with the racist behavior afterwards. The IRS dogged him to the point that Frank Sinatra paid is back debts and buried him. Pathetic!
That was one of the two greatest sports moments in history. The second was Jessie Owens’ historic wins at the Olympics. Both stories involved Nazi Germany.
Yeah they over taxed him and he died in poverty it's a no love for black men in this country he had to fight a young rocky Marciano and he had to hold back from almost pummeling him to death, he knew Lewis was wayyy out of prime. Thus countries history or past is sad brother truly horrendous
@@teddyraffudeen7056 I'm sure he was not honored and taken care of by a country he loved but it only gave him lip service he died broke and in obscurity not of his own doing he was overtaxed he was not a brash buffoon like these clowns today he went underpaid for fights his contemporary fighter's where paid a much handsome price even if they lost to him but he was beloved though so yeah something did happen
@@derwinmatthews606Joe Louis for something greater than can be described in a few simple sentences. He represented his country that to some extent looked down on his color, and was a proud American in spite of it. He also proved that the so-called master race could be humbled am and I’m absolutely convinced that the Jewish people loved him for symbolically humbling Adolph Hitler.
I do feel it was a very big moment in history with the background I get what he say that man's one fight was part of everything we had going on he was basically fighting his part like everyone else but I don't agree with it being the biggest or most important moment I personally don't think their is one moment that's the greatest because the world isn't over and theirs always room to argue the greatest statement when it said someone will 9/10 always disagree
Not sure if it is the greatest single event in history, Jessie Owens pretty.much did the same thing in the 1936 Olympics, except he did it in Berlin, in front of Hitler. Both were heroic feats.
Schmelling was a great man. Don't let Hitler and his politics tarnish his name.
Yes , I agree. He didn't want to represent fascist hate. Beautiful man. Lewis also.
I agree with you Joe should of took Maxes offer to bring coke a cola to Europe instead of dying broke
How can anyone be great with hate in their heart.
@@donjackson4563what are u talking about? What hate did schmelling have in his heart?
@@donjackson4563Do some research before running that pie hole.
Schmelling helped pay for Joe's funeral.
Didn’t know that.

Yeah that's true he's also the highest paid Nazi loser in the sport of boxing history. Joe Louis gained nothing but the title from that fight..
wow thanks for the fact.
Yep, my dad told me that when I was a kid. Sad how he was left poor and broke
Schmelling is the perfect example of we are still human that man stayed friends with Louis helping him financially and even arranging his funeral and paying for it that’s true friendship
Wow wasn’t the pawn they tried to make him nice to know
After the war.. Lewis hit hard times and the German he beat came to his rescue...📚❤️🌞
Yup 👍🏿
Wow thanks for that ,it’s sad and incredible we don’t hear more of this sort of unifying news 😢
Yup and it was the government that did it to him. Taxed him to death
America

bAcK whEn mEn WeRE MEn u sound like a goofy
That’s bad ass and it’s bad ass about how the guy Shmelling was there to help a fellow warrior out. That’s real!
There's a reason Joe Louis is buried in Arlington. Man was a hero to all Americans.
To all Americans are you sure about that?
He was betrayed by his Country 🎉

That's fucked up. But that's about right.
Good ol' USA for ya
They would've never did a white fighter like that
Land of the Free.
Joe Louis was a tremendous champion God bless him he took care of business in that time
The respect Schmelling had for Lewis was pretty cool too. This would make a great movie
He was a great fighter. He just happened to be from Germany.
Oh lol i thought you were going to say america
Dont forget those 2 became friends afterwards and when joe went broke help the community and his so called friends that abandoned him that german fella was there and aided in his funeral
Joe Louis is the type of man we all aspire to be

Jesse Owens and Joe Louis giving Hitler nightmares...

Read Jesse Owens Autobiography where he talks about how wonderful Germans were to him.

it's amazing top see how many people here appreciate max and portray him as the man of honor he was
They were great friends
"Joe Louis had so much pressure coming into that fight" lmao what abt the German dude with a dictator behind him?
It's easier to fool people than to convince them they've been fooled.
They also became great friends
The BROWN BOMBER ....SAVAGE
Left the guy with fractured vertebrate Louis was a literal force of nature that night
ALSO. Cracked. 3. Ribs..Broke. his. NOSE...Broke. his. JAW. TOO !!
Teddy Atlas is to boxing what Steve Urkel is to comedy
influential friends in the United States helped him to acquire the Coca-Cola franchise for the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany), making him a wealthy man. In the 1950s Schmeling visited Louis in the United States, and the two became good friends.
My man rocking the Raiders salute to service
Schmelling was Louis best friend after the war and helped pay for Louis’s funeral and carried his coffin.
It's amazing what we've done for this country and the West as a whole, and how we're still treated to this day.
I would’ve loved to be there. Maybe they can simulate that event through the new VR goggles all the kids are playing with
It was on this night "shmelling salts" where first used to bring him back round.
“Greatest single event in the history of the world”😂
He doesn’t get out much …
🤡
Teddy is a nice guy, but that was just a ridiculous statement.
He probably meant greatest SPORTS EVENT, and that is definitely top 5 or 10
@@K1ng_ib nah he meant in the world. They right he doesn’t get out much. Teddy’s entire life is boxing.
He's speaking of boxing. The sport. Context is key.
Teddy, thanks for all the love and respect you showed me EVERYTIME I met you at Foxwoods Casino!
Thank u for inlightening me and others on this monumentally great event and legend being Joe Louis 👏, and schmelling, never know about this till now
No fucking shit, the greatest sports moment ever!!!!
I don't know about the history of the world, but maybe for that decade in boxing
Sounds Like Rocky IV 😉
And he did it for a country that saw him and treated him as a second class citizen
imagine being in that position as the champion fighting from u.s. against Germany in that time it would be amazing but also difficult
I read where Schmelling hurt his back in a parachute accident before the fight and that caused him to be physically unable to perform as he should have, but took the fight anyway and lost.
Like Pacquiao's phantom shoulder injury after Mayweather beat him, huh? Hahaha, we're so great the others make up excuses to deny our greatness.
Two great men put on a performance for the books
Thank you. Put some respect on the Champ Joe Louis name.
Joe Louis was a god
needs to be a movie.
Thank you 🙌🏾
Can’t believe anything a raiders fan says. History of the world!
in the history of the world Teddy TEDDY!!! IN the history of THE WORLD!!
Awesome
they are both pros and they did the job they trained for and were paid to do.
Louis was the real Captain America
Rhythm boxing and has a good video of Joe Lewis and he properly talks about the kind of man Schelling was.
Max Schmeling vs Joe Louis. Both great boxers, Schmeling went on to be a Paratrooper and fought in the Battle of Crete... My grandfather fought on Crete
He won the Rematch
Schmeling studied Louis and beat him in the first meeting
Knew he dropped his hand after jabbing. Timed it to perfection, and knocked him out.

Probably the 1st fighter to study film of his opponent
Mr Teddy.....the greatest single event in the history of the world.... Hhmmmm, I thought it was King Kong falling from the Empire State Building.
Teddy is not right about a lot be he is right about this one finally
Track and field was def another showstopper for Americans during this time

WARS should not happen, each state of conflict should pick their own representatives and let the people do the job instead of millions, one on one to have the final decision
Their fight was never about politics
The politicians attached themselves to the fight and it was viewed in that way by the people who lived in the time.
@@Xavier_the_Boxing_Nerd you are right especially the Max Schmeling was poster Child of Hitler but they were just two men fighting for a shot at the world title that later became friends.
Even greater when you know Louis was knocked out by that schmelling guy two years prior
What podcast was this?
Joe Louis died poor....Jesse Owens died poor.... They both had less rights than schmelling in the country they represented
And in debt to the country he represented in his prime.
@@Xavier_the_Boxing_Nerd how I love the revisionist history lesson a certain group of people is pushing. Explain to me how
Lieutenant Best downing the Akagi in the battle of Midway with one bomb, is the most important and greatest moment in history.
I’d say the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ were all pretty important and great events, too, but that boxing match was way more importanter than any of those things, I’m sure 🙄
The history of the world…. I’ll give it top 3 in sports history definitely
It was the GREATEST EVENT IN BOXING 🥊 HISTORY
Teddy Atlas Rulez ! Smartest and wisest man in boxing !!!
Then the IRS cleaned em out
He had me until he said "world". Boxing world? Sure.
Imagine the president calling you and telling you that someone said you and everybody that you have fought ain't shit...
He's right.
That would make a great movie. Not only the setting but the true nature of the two fighters. Not just showing max as some type of evil Ivan Drago type but someone who just wanted to be the best fighter he could be, while he country was being run by a mad man.

And still had to use the coloured washroom
And still had to deal with the racist behavior afterwards. The IRS dogged him to the point that Frank Sinatra paid is back debts and buried him. Pathetic!
I have Never heard this Story so it must be true... U learn something new everyday choosing to take it in is another thing
You seem to know nothing about Max Schmeling.
“Still a n…”
Don't forget Owen's at the Olympics.

This dude pulled a gun on a kid....
In the history of boxing MAYBE, but certainly not the world.
I read a book years ago about this fight, and the injuries sustained where impossible from normal boxing gloves 🤔
Dude, musics too loud! Great vid though 🙃
I’m sure this country honored his achievement and in no way nothing bad happened to him after.
