It would not be Ali. It would not be Tyson. It would be the improbable George Foreman who first transcended race in the ring.
Absolutely.
Foreman is more accepted by mainstream America.........than both of them combined.

This article completely neglects Joe Louis who succeeded in gaining the respect and love of lower, middle, and upperclass America years before George Foreman was born.

So theoretically crossing the "racial divide" was not possible untill Foreman's time.
Joe was still a "Porch Monkey" to mainstream America.....which obviously was sad.....because he was a great guy.

You cant leave RAY LEONARD out of that.. he crossed over way before Foreman... SRL did 70up commercials etc.. had more white fans than black fans.. he was in mainstream magazines on a regular basis.. even tons of white celebs were all over him including Chevy Chase and guys like that.
