    yeah that's right. forgot about that. tyson is actually a boxing scholar and really knows the history of the sport. i think quite a few fighters have influenced him. i'd like to see him train fighters and pass his knowledge on to the next generation especially now that he's mentally fit and not some loose canon that will not show up to train and just allow the fighter to train himself.

    Good thread. I believe Juan Manuel Marquez's favorite is Julio Cesar Chavez. If you watch both closely, you can see a few tricks he picked up from him.

    Floyd Mayweather - Sugar Ray Leonard

    When Floyd was coming up in the rankings always compare himself to SRL
