Logical Contender Louis Back Where He Started
Joe Louis, the aging Brown Bomber from Detroit, is back in the NBA ratings as the sole logical contender for Ez. The 47-state body places him in the same spot he held in 1987 when Braddock wore the crown. Savold, Walcott, and Layne appear as other outstanding boxers with related shifts noted. The NBA also updates contenders for Maxim's light heavyweight title and hints at possible stripping for failure to defend titles by set deadlines.
