Who was boxings greatest character?

[holmcall]

Carlos Monzon--party animal and darling of the Jet Set, but killer in the ring (and outside as well).

Max Baer

Jung Koo "The Korean Hawk" Chang - An Asian version of Monzon

Jake LaMotta. Brute both inside and outside the ring. But still alive and chipper!!!

[Mark TKO]

never really thought about Tyson - I was kind of thinking of their characters outside the ring.

Mike's menace etc.. and persona was mostly confined to inside the ropes for me - am talking about the 80s Tyson.

In his latter years his character in and out of the ring was pretty embarassing if you ask me.

So thats probably why I never thought about him

Joichiro 'Joe' Tatsuyoshi ....part Gatti....part Paez

Eubank was the pinnacle of sporting arrogance throughout britain in the 1990s and hence gained one hell of a backlash for it..

Quite beautiful though towards the end how the same arrogant eubank went from being universally hated to becoming a fan favourite solely because the casual fan realised that love him or hate him he was a great fighter who had given them hours of pleasure.

Remember my dad hoisting me over his shoulders in the local pub so i could roar "EUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBANK" with all the other locals urging him on to victory over steve collins!!
