    Default Who was boxings greatest character?

    Let me know your thoughts. For me it was max baer, he was a pure performer and party animal, he even joked while he was dying from a heart attack (he rang the hotel operater and when she asked if he wanted the house doctor he said "hell no, i need a people doctor!").

    VERY good choice mate, Eubanks antics still tickle me to this day.

    apart from the obvious choice then Eubank, Naz and PBF for me in recent times and the ones I have been witness to.

    The ones you love to hate (though I was a Eubank fan in his twilight days)

    I'm assuming by the obvious choice you mean Ali?

    Yeah ali will always be the obvious choice, great man in and out of the ring.

    I totally have to agree, his ring presence, the way he strutted around and stared down the crowd but above all the way he spoke, what diction for a boxer!....and dresses like a victorian gentleman ready for fisticuffs, only one Eubank

    When in this day and age would you have an event like the below on tv, absolute classic!
