Thomas (Rooste) Hammond. one
OF the shrewdest judges of boxers
this side OF Heaven. comes up with
his reason why Joe Louis should
not retire as champion. And !
think you'll agree with me, it's a
darn logical argument against the
champions proposed retirement.
I'll just let Hammond take over
here and explain in his own way
why he thinks Louis should not
retire. Take it away Hammy!
There's been quite a bit Of
talk about Joe Louis retiring. and
Joe helped this along some
months ago when he said that he
was going to have one more
fight - the one with Billy Conn
- and then retire. I'm one OF
those against Louis retiring, and
I'll tell you my reason.
, Joe has had II fights since
he won the heavyweight cham
pionship from Jim BraddOck In
1897. and in those II fights he's
had to 20 only 113 rounds, and
only five Of these fights went
over 10 rounds. This proves that
Joe has not had 10 exert him
self in defense Of fhe title.
Here's the list of fights, in
Guiding his battle with Braddock,
whom he stopped in eight rounds.
In his first bout after winning
the title from Braddock, Joe went
Is rounds TO win a decision over
Tommy Farr. He stopped Harry
Thomas in five rounds. and
knocked out Nathan Mann in three.
Max Schmeling. John Henry Lewis
and Jack Roper only lasted one
round each. and Tony Galento was
stopped in he fourth Bob Pastor
stayed II rounds, and Arturo Co
doy went the distance Of IS
rounds. but Johnnie Paycheck only
lasted two rounds. and then Louis
stopped Godoy in eight rounds in
return match. AL Mccoy went
out in six. Red Burman in five.
Gus Dorazio in two, Abe Simon in
10. ard Billy Conn in l3,
Now there are the figures, and.
II YOU divided the number OF fights
into the number Of rounds. you'll
see that he's averaged little more
than six rounds fight. which
isn't hard work for the money.
I'm ADDITION. Joe is still a
young man. If you consider the age
of men like Jack johnson. Bob
Fiizslmmons and Jeffries. other
heavyweight champions Jack won
the title when he was in his thir-
ties. so did FitEimmons.
SO. with that off my chest. I'm
still hoping that Joe Will continue
