He's just a twat imo.

To be a great villain you also need to be a top level boxer. Calling yourself sugerraygayclayalijonesjr or whatever and bragging about your skills before being knocked out by a domestic level junior middleweight just makes you a laughing stock

---

Does it say GREAT in the title???

---

Did I say I read the title? ::** :)

---

No but i'm referring to the title. ;)

I was gonna say Sonny Liston, he was a bad motherfucker..But someone mentioned Naseem Hamed....what a legend;in Terms of entertainment.

It seems like Mayweather is the prime villian these days, but the greatest villian of all time has to be Ricardo Mayorga, he put on some of the best press conferences ever, and wild antics inside and outside the ring, the guy knew how to sell a fight. Hopefully he get's one more chance on the big stage against Forrest.

I would not even call Mayweather a villian because he is basically just an ass who tries too hard to be the bad gut that at times he comes off like a c list actor :-[...It is almost embaressing at times

Guys like Mayorga make it seem natural and thats how they are 24/7

I'd have to say recent it would be Mayorga. I have actually started to like the guy; I used to hate him for his mouth and especially during the build up to the De La Hoya fight. But now it's funny waiting to see what comes out of that mouth{other then cigarette smoke} :laugh:

Jack Johnson is probably the greatest villain in boxing history. A perceived villain by the white majority during those tumultuous times at the turn of the last century; but a guy who seemed to embrace the villainous role because of the hatred thrown hiw way and really played the role well.

Man in the first Ali-Foreman fight, Foreman looks like a bad Mofo. Has these german shepards and looks right scary. I love the clips of him punching the heavy bag. :D

Has to be James Toney. Telling someone to go back to Africa and herd goats is nice. ;D

No, he stole it from Gollum when he also took the ring ;D

For me, the biggest baddasses like:

Sonny Liston
George Foreman (the young one)
Mike Tyson
Roberto Duran
Marvin Hagler
John L Sullivan

to name but a few

Your right, Jack Johnson was made out to be the villian for other reasons (Color) but he embraced the role and loved it.

James toney

Miranda (is he considered a villain? He sure talks a lot of shit)
Mayorga
PBF
Liston (I'm reading a biography about him, The Devil and Sonny Liston, good book)
Ali
Young Foreman, Old Foreman is one of my favorite "good guys"
Is Malignaggi a villain? I know he's not on the level of a Foreman or a Mayorga, but he's another trash-talking conceited son of a bitch who a lot of people would like to see KO'd

I'd say that Malinaggi is more on the level of "punk ass bitch". But its Christmas, so I'm not gonna say that. ;D
