Looks like they got Max Schmeling right on the money! He is # 3 on the list. He died today.

Max Schmeling, the German boxer whose legendarily brief 1938 heavyweight title bout against Joe Louis was so fraught with political and racial overtones that it was called "the undercard of World War II," died Wednesday at his home in Hollenstedt, Germany, near Hamburg. He was 99 years old.

In one of boxing's most memorable nights and surely among the most electrifying 124 seconds in the history of sport, Louis, then heavyweight champion of the world, crushed Schmeling before 70,000 fans at Yankee Stadium.

For Louis, the first-round knockout was sweet revenge: two years earlier, in what many consider one of the greatest upsets in heavyweight history, Schmeling had knocked out the undefeated, heavily-favored Louis in the 12th round.

Max Schmeling helped to hide Jews during the holocaust, and also ended up paying for Joe Louis' funeral. The quote by Max was very good, and went something like " I didn't want to just be known as a great athlete without being a great human being."
