Easy answer for me, my old boss, Ray Leonard. I’d idolized him since I was a kid in 1976 & was fortunate enough to be hired as a sparring partner for him in the late 80s. . Being in training camp with him was a dream come true.

Me too man! I was pretty devastated when he lost that one and how his career went after that.
Seemed to be really unlucky and never reached his true potential due to injuries. (also USADA haha)
