Top Top 10 Favorite Personalities In Boxing- All Time

[Boom Boom]

No Particular order yet, but I think Ali was the most charismatic champion of all time. Even now, when hes on TV, I always watch. If he in the paper, I always read it. Just a remarkable person.

1. Muhammad Ali
2. Roberto Duran
3. George Foreman
4. Mike Tyson
5. Teddy Atlas
6. Bernard Hopkins
7. Emmanuel Steward
8. Roy Jones Jr.
9. Jake LaMotta
10. Floyd Patterson

Sometimes I like the fighters who are a little more charasmatic outside the ring, but most of the time they end up making themselves a bit twaty... Like Mundine.. His boxing earnt him some respect from me, he mouth annoyed the hell out of me.. I didn't mind Roy Jones, and kind of hated mayweather but loved him at the same time..

I like guys like Pac, Margarito, Corrales etc who are really professional and obviously have a lot of respect for life and everything else.. And Boxing is just a part of it... I always say boxing can never have enough personalities like that...

However, the loudmouth types are like a "love 'em or hate 'em" type thing and they are good for the sport as well.. Especially if you love them...

I get where your coming from. Just cos a guy is loud and talks trash dont mean he is charismatic. I like the guys u mentioned who just let their fists do the talking. My all time favourite fighter Tszyu was the same.

One from a century ago. Al Herford, the trainer of Joe Gans. He was so interesting that H.L. Mencken wrote "A Master of Gladiators" about him.
