		Former heavyweight champion Trevor Berbick will always be remembered as the other guy for the two most notable fights of his career.That's no surprise because, for those two fights, the stars he stood across from in the ring were Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson.
		Berbick had several brushes with the law late in his career and in retirement, and he still talked of another big fight in the future.
		By the time Berbick lost to rising contenders Jimmy Thunder and Hasim Rahman in the mid-1990s, he was merely a name for those young fighters to etch onto their records, the way Berbick had once done with Ali.
