and after the lewis fight when the fight that had been brewing for years had finished and i suppose it must have been a huge wieght of his shoulders and he could jus be pleasant to lennox

And finally B-hop after the tarver fight (bieng supposedly his last fight) he leaned through the ropes and told emanuel steward he wished jermaine all the best and had no hard feelings...

peace
Mike was one of my boyhood heroes, and one of the things I always liked about him, IMO, was that he was always a classy winner. He always went over and hugged the guy and checked if he was ok. And his remarks after the Lewis fight proved that he was also a gracious loser. I always thought that his comments like child eating were indicative of his pure genious (yes, genious!) at marketing and promoting his own fights. People thought he was crazy for saying that child eating crap, to which I always replied, "if Mike REALLY wanted to eat a child I think he would have done so by now." It always made them stop a minute and think that yeah, maybe he is a good pre-fight BS'er.

Unfortunately part of his legacy was ruined by the Holyfield shit, but I'd have bit the fuck too. Goddam prick headbuts more than a ram. In fact, Conan O'Brien did a spoof of his fights that were all footage of two rams headbutting each other. People overlook the fact that a holyfuk headbut cut mike open good above his left eye.
