Ali learned from Joe Louis.
Joe Louis was great but he was the opponent of Ali. Joe Louis never said anything about racial inequality. The reward he got was being bankrupt after retirement and still being discriminated with housing despite being the Black champion who placated white racists.
nah they were 2 different ppl from 2 different generations..they were opposites...in that time period joe didnt like ali's stances and ali called him an uncle tom for it
Actually no, they were the opposite
When Jack Johnson won the heavyweight title in 1908, it caused an uproar in White society. On top of Johnson being unapologetic during his reign. That abgered white media so much, they barred Black Men for ever competing for a Heavy weight title for damn near 30 years
So when Joe Louis came along, he had a white manager that told him he had to be an unassuming token Black man to the media to "win White America" back. So he had to play that game. Never trashed talked or backed talked anyone on camera. That was only way he could keep his titles
If you want to find a predecessor to Muhammad Ali, it would be Jack Johnson and Sugar Ray Robinson
Swear to God...
Soldier-Champ: Joe Louis sacrificed much for his country
FORT LEE, Va. (Feb. 27, 2014) -- He donated money to the military services, demonstrating his support for the war effort.
Joe Louis’ Sacrifice and Service for Equality
Joe Louis’ contributions to society, the war effort, and racial equality embody the efforts of African American servicemembers during World War II, as they fought a battle on two fronts: against foreign fascism and domestic white supremacy.
Both in action and image, Joe Louis served his country and his community through his time in uniform and in the ring during World War II. Although a non-combatant in his service, Joe Louis served his morale role dutifully and honorably. At the time of his honorable discharge from the Army, he had been promoted to the rank of Technical Sergeant. In his near-four years of service, Louis fought in ninety-six exhibition fights around the world, helped military fundraisers, donated his own money to military relief funds and Black soldiers who needed additional assistance for medical care and burial services, boosted morale, and helped the advancement and deserved recognition of his fellow Black soldiers and sailors.
Ali learned for Joe Louis's (mistake of going to war for a country that was degrading his people).
Learn from it... please.

Says the c00n military vet…
and what he said can also go for all you uber-patriotic, red, white, and blue “look at me, I'm an American” flag-waving cheerleading fools as well.
