Right there he didn't actually say they were his favorites. He resembled them. He has stated, if I recall correctly, that Johnson, Louis, and I believe Ali were his favorite fighters. I'm sure Dempsey and Liston are in there somewhere as well.

Because hes not like them at all. He fought nothing like them, and was often compared to Dempsey and Liston because of many different attributes.
I would not be surprised if he admired Dempsey.
Other fighters he claimed to be his favorites were Robinson, Duran, Fullmer, Gans, Sullivan, Langford, and even Benny Leonard as well.
I believe I have the interview in which he talks about Johnson, Louis, and Ali. But unfortunately I can't watch it now.
