    Tyson(I just loved the mans fighting you cant go wrong with Iron Mike, got into him around the McBride fight, went back and watched all of his fights)

    John L. Sullivan (I remember in the seventh grade picking up a book about the hardest punchers ever, and John L was the one I admired the most, he pretty much got me into it)

    Morales was introduced to me by my father.
    I always heard of JCC growing up and watched some of his fights but he was past his bestwhen i actually got into boxing.
