    Age has played a role in the mellowing process. Of course, the book, movie and sponsorships(Panama Blue) don't hurt either.

    A recent fight in Billy Joe Saunders vs Chris Eubank Jr.


    Billy Joe genuinely hates Chirs Eubank Jr calling him a **** fighter and a ****er.

    Tony Ayala jr. Duran like hatred. Was all set to mix it up with Leonard Hearns Benitez Duran and Hagler when he was convicted of **** and served about 17 years. Made a comeback when he got out but he was old then.

    I don't think any of these fighters hated each other. Ali overstepped the mark with Frazier but they were friends up until they started fighting each other. Morales however hated Barrera big time and still won't speak to him. Bellew Cleverley too LMAO!!!
