We all saw that on the 24/7 show that Floyd Mayweather Jr. played a pretty good villain. BUT he was not near as good of villian as Ricardo Mayorga or a lot of other fighters IMO. So I got to thinking who are some of the best villians in boxing history? Heres my list so far:
1. "Iron" Mike Tyson
2. James "Lights Out" Toney
3. "Big" George Foreman
4. Sonny Liston (OG Villian)
5. Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins
6. Hector "Macho" Camacho
7. Antonio Tarver
8. Prince Naseem Hamed
i actually like floyd as a villain i think he should keep it that way
the best villans dont need a good guy as well known as ODH to sell fights, floyd doesnt know how to work and his 'bad guy' act is unconvincing to me
Big George in his first career, Roger Mayweather, Vinny Paz were all good at it.
Foreman is a MUST
Sonny Liston
Roberto Duran....you slap someone's handshake spit at their wife and kids and then beat their ass.....it makes you a meanie
Jake LaMatta - "He ain't pretty no more"
Muhamed Ali (for those who didn't like him he was pretty brutal with his words and his actions) "What's my name???", "It'll be a thrilla, and a chilla, when I get the Go-rilla in Manilla"
liston was a bad mother fucker
Mayorga ;D
Yeah Duran was a true intimidator. He looked like the devil in action.Quote:

I never viewed him that way. Is this the popular opinion or your own thinking? I'm not saying your wrong just asking for an example.
I forgot to mention Ricardo Mayorga, he's my favorite fighter and one of THE BEST Villians EVER. And Aaron Pryor too, I don't even like that guy.
Aaron Pryor ??
I still think mike tyson is the best villain boxer all time. all that you don't like and get annoyed to in a boxer, this ugly mofo possess it. ;D but i still love the conviction of his punches, its still one of the meanest of all time.
hell yeah, when he called ODH a fag that shit was classic, and then i think don king fell off he stage or some shit :D :D :DQuote:

3: Tyson (in his hey-days)
4: Ali
5: Toney (even though I hate him...he was good at making me hate him.)
There are others out there...but one's like Judah & Mayorga that just get the shit beat outta them & lay there bloody when matched against tip toppers...oh how I love to laugh. ;D
Mike Tyson has to be the biggest villain in boxing talking of eating Lennox's kids as well of road rage,rape convictions,ear biting,leg biting and trying to break arms Holyfield,Botha and McBride plus much much more but you still have to love him

Ahaha..I love the bad guys!!
Malignaggi..Tough little trash talker..
Toney .. Total badass.. A c*nt..But an undoubted badass! Love the guy
Mayorga..I remember the presser with forrest.."When i beat you.. Im going to take your mother to minagua and have her clean up my back yard! "
Vargas
Hopkins.. Especially during the build up to the tito fight..I remember he had to be escorted out of the arena when he stamped on the PR flag!.. AND FAST!!
Duran.. Vicious dude! At the end of leonard - duran I, Leonard half heartedly raised his arms and duran started going off his head :)
Whoever came out with tarver and Nas..Good ones!!
Miranda is the new badass villain on the block..Really like the guy! He's gona carry the middleweight torch like toney once did..And hes gona talk trash just as well :)
Tito, I agree with every single thing you said. However I think there should be some guidelines if you wanna be the villian. Like having a knockout percentage thats over 30% (Malinaggi). Everytime I see this guy talking he says he's gonna knock someone out. He has 21 wins and 5 knockouts. 3 of those five knockouts came in his first 5 fights. I look at this guy as a much more vocal Sergio Mora. I think he could beat Sergio, but I see Malinaggi being a guy who will never beat a big name in boxing. He'll be an "always good but never great" fighter.
Nahh gotta disagree bro.. I think he'll get better as he fills out.. Frankly light welter might be too high a division for paulie..Maybe he would be more powerful at a lower weight..Quote:

Although the good but never great thing is not just about paulie..Its about what the division has to offer paulie.. Which is not a reat deal as far as legacy building fights is concerned..
Which is why a lighter division would be a decent but unlikely option
Malinaggi ain't a villian, just a lil bitch. I can't stand the lil shat, but it doesn't make him a good villian, just a little prick. And Wacko, Fuk You. Judah and Mayorga are pimps! Do not diss them in my presence or else.... :bat: :bomb: :bananasex:
Anyone for Hulk - Malignaggi? See who wins eh hulk :) ;)Quote:

Jack Dempsey...Before the title..
Max Schmelling.....This was at the height of WW2 he was a german who had been photographed with Hitler...People wanted him to be killed by Louis...
Sonny Liston....He was just a scary guy
Jake Lamotta.....
Aaron Pryor for the Arguello fight....
Hector Camacho...
Foreman in the 70's
Hagler Vs Leonard....
Duran....
Tyson.....
in no particular order
Andrew Golatta while he was going through his "Low Blow" stage of his career.....
Thats what made Tyson vs Golota an interesting fight because you did'nt know what would happen and the fact that anything could happen
He's got my number. He knows hot to find me. ;)Quote:
