It's probably the lamest form of compliment I can think of.
And that Joe Louis was only the second black heavyweight champion?
I think it's a huge deal being the first Mexican heavyweight champion.
It is to them anyway.

The nationalist will appreciate a heavyweight champion of Mexican descent, but kids won't want to be like Andy Ruiz Jr, and women won't want to **** him.
Tough luck, but that's reality.

The 1st woman to beat a man in a legit 3min per round boxing match ?
10000 %
The 1st downy guy to be a healthy guy in a legit 3min per rd fight ?
100000 %
The 1st midget to win a legit fight ?
100000000 %
The 1st WW to win a HW title ?
1000000000 %
That nationality aspect is pretty much meh. Imho
