    The result may be controversial but didnt SNV say that Holyfield was one of his idols and that he preferred not to fight him?

    After the fight in the interview Tyson said he would not have beaten a prime Holmes and he had so much respect for him, and this despite Holmes trash talking before the fight that Tyson was nothing but a thug and would end up in jail before too long. He wasn't his idol, Tyson's idol was Duran, don't think Tyson really hated Holmes though

    Really? Didn't look like he idolised Leonard when he ****ing belted him with a right hand when Leonard was already on the floor.

    Terry would hit his daddy if he was on the floor. Anyway they said before the fight that Norris said "he idolized Leonard".

    You learn something everyday. That floor shot on Leonard is perhaps one of the reasons that Jackson KO Norris is among my favourite KOs I think.

    Idolize may be an exaggeration but I think I remember Danny Green liking roy jones or looking up to him


    Winky and mosley were friends

    Also PBF had quotes of him looking up to Mosley, old quotes from when he was just starting out but of course by the time they fought, he wouldnt admit it.
