To what extent and how successfully did boxers Johnson,Ali, Tyson use race to further

I can remember wathcing Tyson in his prime and enjoying the sight of him destroy almost everyone he faced, I was entertained but never felt the sense of empowerment that you speak of. To be honest I think Holyfield showed more of a warrior spirit because he never quit or self destructed in the ring.

Tyson seemed to live up to negative stereotypes to such an extent that it was endearing
