Patterson's four title defenses before he met Johansson had been against fighters who, at best, weren't even household names in their own households. And Johansson, a European heavyweight champion, was believed to be but another in that line, even though he had a 21-0 record with 13 knockouts...

...never to talk to his once-mentor after being scolded for taking too long in the shower at their crib. Bow Wow moved out to live with his bud Lil’ Romeo, and Dupri spent the next few years concentrating on growing his beard. But in this new age of hope and change, the two swore to uphold the creed of “Obama, no drama.” So they kissed and made up, announcing their revitalized bromance on the cover of The Source.
