Answer 10

admirable

he was a man of class and a patriot who represented his country even when his country treated him as a second class citizen, he was man to be admired.

Answer 11

One word just would'nt do him justice.  He truely was one of the Greatest.

In the ring Ali would beat them all.   However,  in terms of Overall Greatness,  Perhaps,  Louis was.  Depends on how you define Greatness.

Answer 12

Joe personified and carried himself with class.  Many wonderful things can be said about Joe, but that seems to be the main word.  He was always humble when victorious which was nearly every fight and he carried himself in a quiet and dignified manner.  Yes with the immortal "Brown Bomber" Joe Louis, the main word that comes to my mind is CLASS!

Answer 13

CLASS

Answer 14

"Champion"

His conduct under the most trying of circumstances was exemplary, he defined class, honor and decency by conducting himself in a manner than demanded respect from all who encountered him in or out of the ring.

Answer 15

brave

Answer 16

Legend..........this could be negative or positive but i see it more as a negative.... there has been a lot of talk of Joe Louis lately with the HBO documentary but it seems as if no one saw it...i have kept reading about a Hero Betrayed or forgotten and its a little troubling ...i had read in years past of Joes flamboyant lifestyle and ability to waste money but i was unsure of this till the documentary .... after hearing Joe's Son talk of his fathers exploits its amazing the media of the time didnt try and Bash Louis as a careless irresponsible man the way they did Jack Johnson or Ali..... but is sad the hardships he had to go thru but i am more saddening for his family who had to watch as they went Broke because of Joes doing ..... theres an old saying from a movie called The Man Who Shot Liberty Vance and that is ..."When the Legend becomes fact, Print The Legend."  and it may be the case here but just my opinion
