Not everyone is a silent warrior. Sometimes it's good to have someone that's confident enough to talk and say things. Trash talk is great, why should PBF, Toney, or anyone else keep their mouth shut just because some people don't like it? They're the ones training and devoting their lives to the sport, they should be allowed to act however they want to despite who they are or aren't pissing off. Honestly, I wouldn't want to watch a press conference, for example, between Shane and ODLH because they'd just be sucking each other cocks for an hour, I like the PBF-ODLH press conference because there's conflict, it's funny, it's entertaining, and it's getting people that might not be boxing fans amped up about watching the fight. Not everyone can be a quiet nice guy, and that's what's awesome about sports, because for every Marvin Harrison, Tim Duncan, and Shane Mosley, you have a TO, Gilbert Arenas, and a Ricardo Mayorga.
I would not necessarily equate silence with being nice to wit: Hagler.
