Champion Stuff?

Good day all
I was rewatching ROTF and there is a part where Sam calls Leo something made of "pure champion stuff".
Could anyone explain this? If it's a cultural reference it's way over my head. Not important, but still curious.
Thanks

I don't think it has a single origin in pop culture, as far as I know it's just a saying.

Thanks but what does it mean? I haven't heard of this saying at all.

Could you remind me a little of what's going on in the scene when he says it? I'm having some trouble remembering the part where he says it

Leo: "You work for me now"
Sam: "I work for you now? That's incredible... I work for a dinky internet firm with a boss who's made of pure champion stuff"
More or less as I recall it

I don't think it's really a saying.
If I recall correctly, he just thinks of that at the top of his head as a lame attempt way not to insult Leo after saying "dinky internet firm".

Pretty sure it was Sam just being a smart ass. Not that it wasn't deserved, since Leo suffered from a bad case of Small Name Big Ego.

Sam was being sarcastic.

This. This is exactly what it is. ROTF and the first movie had a lot of Sam doing this.

So basically, to sum up what everyone has said, saying someone is made of "champion stuff" in that sense is essentially simultaneously being a smartass and saying that the person in reference is as far from anything resembling a true "champion" as possible.

Bingo!
