Boxing's most beloved personalities

[holmcall]

I've got to agree with you, Joe Louis was the "most beloved".....there are quite a few that are divisive: Ali, Johnson, Tyson, etc. people love or hate those guys...but with Joe, at least he garners the respect of all.

If there was ever just 1 boxer I would want to represent America it would be Joe Louis, 100% class, grace under pressure and just a fun fighter to watch.

Great point. Joe was 100% loved. He never polarized.

I like Larry Merchant a lot as well. I don't always agree with him but he has the gumption to say how he feels. A lot of people find him abrasive at times but I honestly don't think he is malicious more so than that's just his personality.

Gotta be Martin Rogan for me. He's hilarious, and provides some fun and entertainment to the boring heavyweight scene. So glad when the part time taxi driver beat the odds, like winning prizefighter and then beating Harrison and Skelton. Funny story, when he beat Harrison he walked past audleys room and shouted 'taxi for harrison'. Peoples champion!
