When you look at Tyson/RJJ/Mayweather they all made quite a stir in the media, and the current big names have completely different persona's..
makes you wonder if these loud mouths are necessary for boxing to be more successful in the media.
It kind of reflects there styles as well.. The fancy footwork guys who have a real flair type style in the ring, tend to be the louder ones out of the ring... The guys like Pavlik, Cotto, Margarito who are just solid, come forward, fundemental fighters tend to be quiet outside the ring...
Might show that personality also has a lot to do with a fighters style..
