    Yeah, that dude who would always wear those cool suits and shades. We haven't heard from him in the Boxing world for over 15 years. What happened to him? Is he still alive? I wonder why he left Boxing. The dude had a great interview after Tyson Vs Holyfield 2. I know he tried to sue Tyson for breech of contract, but failed. Hopefully we hear of the dude again.

    John Horne probably crawled back under his rock and that is why we have not heard of him in over 10 years.

    Tyson left Don King and fired John Horne and Rory Holloway (both of them his co-managers) after his rematch loss to Evander Holyfield in which he bit off a part of Holyfield's ear.

    Horne was really only known for working with Tyson and he attempted to file a lawsuit against Tyson for a breach of contract after Tyson signed with Shelly Finkel but the lawsuit never went anywhere and Horne was never really heard from again (either in the boxing world or the regular world).

    The funniest thing I remember about Horne is when he gave an interview after Tyson was disqualified against Holyfield and him claiming that Holyfield's injury was not that serious and that "he was jumping around like a little *****" after Holyfield had just gotten part of his ear bitten off. Anyone who says things like that about professional boxers and is involved in managing boxers obviously doesn't know what they're doing. Here is his interview, his part starts at 0:52-

    IIRC, he became an actor (a bad one, too). I know I saw him in a movie.
