The funny thing is the Europeans make more out of this than what us Americans do. Yes, we all know what he did, what he represented, and what he done for his people. Yes, we also know that to a minority he is considered the greatest heavyweight of all time, and did no wrong. However, alot of that is myth, as the Ken Burns documentary was about the most biased and inaccurate documentary I have ever seen on a boxing champion. Johnson, for the most part, was the most elaborate and the biggest exaggerator of his own abilities than anyone I have ever seen in boxing. This man couldn't even keep his own myths and lies straight.
