Hitler and Schmeling

[Johnny Vincent]

Didnt Max Schmeling give a **** load of money to Joe Louis? I swear I heard that before...

I find Schmeling to be one of the most intimidating looking fighters of all time. Just looks so incredibly tough.

I definitely agree that Schmeling was a very lucky man who took advantage of his many opportunities. Such was not the case for his rival Joe Louis, unfortunately.




Schmeling and Jack Dempsey

Don't Schmeling and Dempsey look like they are or could be brothers in this picture?

You're not the only one who think this. As well as myself i have heard this many of times how much these two look alike.

I also have always thought Willie Pep and Carmon Basillio have a look of each other.

After the first fight Hitler called Max a "shining example of Tutonic manhood". Schmelling was never winning any rematch after that sort of eulogy.
