Jack Johnson is probably the greatest villain in boxing history. A perceived villain by the white majority during those tumultuous times at the turn of the last century; but a guy who seemed to embrace the villainous role because of the hatred thrown hiw way and really played the role well.
Your right, Jack Johnson was made out to be the villian for other reasons (Color) but he embraced the role and loved it.
