Mendoza The Great is a limited comic book series published as part of The Victor comics line-up from #514 - #527 and #905 - #918 in 1970. The comics depict the life and career of real-life famous bare-knuckle boxer named Daniel Mendoza, who became the heavyweight champion of England from 1792–1795. His style of boxing, which consisted on the use of speed and mobility, became the first-known account of an "outboxer" style of boxing that famous modern boxers today still used like Muhammad Ali and Floyd Mayweather Jr. As the legend grew of this small man being able to defeat larger and strong opponents, Daniel Mendoza would later became known as the "Father of Modern Boxing". His biggest contribution however, was how he became a symbol for the Jewish community at the time where rampant antisemitism and the view of the Jews as a weak race was prevalent.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The comic book became popular for its accurate portrayal of 17th century bare-knuckle fighting (aka Classical Pugilism), and the author and artist Ted Rawlings extensively researched various records such as Pugilistica and Boxiana to create the comics, although Creative Liberties such as the additional of new characters and opponents were added. The story follows the real-life exploits and bouts of Daniel Mendoza. The comic book would later inspire future comic book series, books and films that depicted Daniel Mendoza.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Mendoza The Great contains examples of: | |
