Who do you think was the most respectful boxer ever?
Was It Evander Holyfield and His Christian-based comments?
Or Kostya Tszyu and his well-mannered remarks?
Was it someone else?
Let us know.

Sorry to disappoint you but he's not like the movies. I remember reading about his fight with Tommy Loughran and this guy was saying every dirty curse word there was. Tommy Loughran was a nice guy, honorable and never did have anything bad to say about anyone. Also I should say that Max Baer was a lot better than the movie portrayed of him.Quote:

Larry Holmes didn't have a lot of respect for his opponents, or fighters and trainers before him, but he was strictly business. He did however had a lot of pressure on him that affected him greatly.
Oscar Delahoya knows how play the camera but when behind the scenes he doesn't have the nicest things to say.
I agree that Kostya Tszyu had the mannerisms and respect as the champ that he was. Shane Mosely, and Arguello were good people as well.
Thinking about it besides the images that they portray even fighters that played it mean were good respecting guys. If you know the story between Roberto Duran and his nemisis Estaban DeJesus, Duran went to pay his respects to him while he was in the joint.
