Joseph Louis Barrow was born on May 13, 1914, in Lexington,
Alabama, the youngest of seven children. When Joe was a young boy, his family
moved to Detroit where Joe's friend Thurston McKinney, a winner of a Golden
Glove title in Detroit, convinced him to begin boxing. Joe trained at the
recreation center with Alter Ellis, and in 1932, at age 17, he quit school to
become a boxer. Although his mother disapproved, he still wanted to box. After
Joe dropped out of school, he worked part time as a paint sprayer in an
automobile assembly line, practicing boxing only on the weekends. When he signed
up for his first amateur fight in November 1932, Joe Louis Barrow dropped the
name "Barrow" for fear that his parents might see the fight results and be angry
that he continued to box. In 1934, Joe won the US Amateur Athletic Union Crown
and turned pro.
The future champion attended Bronson Vocational School for a time to learn
cabinet-making, before turning to amateur boxing at the request of a schoolmate.
He made his boxing debut in an amateur tournament in Detroit, where he was then
making his home, as a lightheavyweight.
He lost the decision, getting knocked down three times by Johnny Miler in a
three-rounder. However, he persevered and, in 1934, won the national Amateur
Athletic Union light-heavyweight title. That ended his career as an amateur. His
record included 43 knockout victories in 54 bouts.
