  Joe Louis was broke when he died. Max Schmeling paid for his friend Joe's funeral and gave him the respect he deserved. Two great fighters in and out of the ring

  I adore how Max picked Joe up off the floor and personally took him to his corner. What a great sport he was.

  Schmeling's counter right on this night was truly something special

  It seems like Schmelling was one hell of a nice guy look at the sportsmanship  after he KO Lewis, Scmelling celebrates for a second then goes over and helps Lewis up...Not to mention Schmelling helped Lewis out financially in later years and paid for his funeral

  The first* thing Max did after the ref stopped counting was RUN to help Louis up to his feet..................... That, is what true Champions always do !  / Respect !

  Those were the days when fighters really go for broke.  They fought their hearts out. In memoriam to these greats!

  This is honestly such a great fight. People seem to forget this fight or avoid mentioning it when talking about Joe Louis. And it's a shame because Max outclassed Louis that night. Truly impressive work by Max. I think this fight should be mentioned just as much as their rematch. It was a significant fight for both men.

  Two legends of the sport... I really like how Mr. Schmeling picked up Mr. Louis off the ground after the KO.

  If this was a title fight, people would have been talking about this more than many other iconic fights.
