There are some men who live their life with honor and class Max Schmeling and Joe Louis were two of them. This above all is what made them great men not just their abilities in the ring.

Max hid jews during the krystalnacht and used his influence to help jewish friends get released from camps. He also made Hitler swear that all foreign athletes would be protected during the 1936 olympics. There were a lot of rumors about "accidents" happening to some of the black athletes. He was a really good guy.
