    I say there is a greater example

    Jack Johnson against Tommy Burns. Johnson had talked it all up even back when Jim Jeffries was champion was challenging him the same way.

    Jack Johnson basically talked his way to a world heavyweight title match and became the first black person to win it.
    This is surely the best example, Johnson chased Burns around the world until he agreed to fight him. Without putting such pressure on Burns to fight him he would never have been given the opportunity.

    Agreed he chased him all the way to Australia.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
