Golata: Combustable persona equals unpredicatbility equals interesting character. Never know what will happen.

Took a good chunk out of Po'uha's shoulder if memory serves me correct. Then he headbutted Doc Nicholson and Doc looked at the ref as if to say WTF and then after about 10 seconds, dropped down like he was unconcious from the butt. A circus I tell you. But I still like him.

Haha,O'Grady said he was showing his 'survival instincts' with Po'uha

sorry im not on as much, warcraft and college takes alot of my time(should be graduating by June)

But I like the way this thread hasnt become a hate one.

The bringing up of Cotto and Margarito, you didn't need to sale that fight

But thats what you'd call a smark fight. "Smart marks" people that have followed boxing and followed these two fighters for quite a while.

But to the casual boxing fan who has no idea who these fighters are it may not be as appealing.

At my college you have boxing fan smart marks, and then you have people who don't really watch boxing but can name some people in it and would watch a fight.

Boxing needs a way to reach a younger demographic, because us as boxing fans won't be there forever. So how is boxing going to bring in a younger crowd or audience of people to get people interested in boxing, thats where my point about the outrageous people can come from.

Kudos to the guy who mentioned James Toney as one.

Arreola's loud shout out of mutherf---er last night signals character potential. Yep. I see him embarassing the HBO team down the road and that will qualify him for my Hall of Fame.

Boxing doesn't NEED characters...seeing how it's an individual sport it does attract them though.

I don't care to see any more jerks than I have to in a given day...I especially don't want to pay to see them

I think Jorge Paez epitimized the word "character" for boxing.
Truely and genuinely an entertainer. In every sense of the word.











"Terrible" Terry was a very colorful character throughout his career.
"Macho" Camacho was another one.

I once saw him leave his corner and crawl after the card girl. LMFAO!!
