Joe Louis Picture courtesy of Wiki

"He can run, but he can’t hide” is a famous statement of boxing champion Joe Louis (1913-1981). Louis had won a tough 13-round fight by knockout against Billy Conn (1917-1993) in 1941. For the 1946 rematch (after World War II), it had been suggested that Conn would dance around the ring and try to avoid Louis’s punches. Louis told the press in June 1946: “He (Conn—ed.) can run, but he can’t hide.” courtesy of barrypopik.com
