          no single sport event - even jack johnson's victory over jeffries had ever borne such worldewide weight. the fight implicated both the future of race relations and the prestige of two powerful nations in usa - germany.

          louis really also represented democracy in it's purest form. schmeling represented a country that did not recognize democracy. at the time, schmeling was the most unpopular white man to take on a black men - ever. that's saying alot considering the riots in 1910 because of jeffries - johnson.
