"Roberto Duran is my favorite fighter. When I saw Duran fight, he was just a street guy... Man, this guy is me, I thought. That was what I wanted to do. He was not ashamed of being who he was. I related to him as a human being.
As my career progressed and people started praising me for being a savage, I knew that being called an animal was the highest praise I could receive from someone in the ring. I was ferocious and fearless like Duran."
- Mike Tyson
