Favorite Book: "Heroes Without A Country" by Donald Mcrae

"When I was a little kid growing up in Millersville, South Carolina I loved listening to Joe Louis fight on the radio. I grew up wanting to be just like him--the great Joe Louis. So I read up on him. Later on, I met Louis in Las Vegas & in The Catskills, where I was training. He showed me his favorite combinations and encouraged me. He was a great guy."
