Shows what kind of person Duran really was behind the beast in the ring.

Roy Jones was arrogant in the ring. But outside of it, he did try to help some other guys' careers, namely Wright and Gainer when they otherwise wouldn't have gotten opportunities. And he devoted a lot of time to helping Gerald McClellan and his family.

Originally posted by Anthony342 View PostSo we all know boxers are usually known for bragging and trash talking their opponent to both build themselves up and to provide enough hype and excitement for their upcoming fight. But who are the guys in boxing history that never or almost never did that? Who were and are the nice, classy guys in boxing, that never seemed to badmouth their opponents but were always kind and respectful?

Bonavena ran into trouble outside the ring with remarks such as calling Muhammad Ali a black kangaroo and even a chicken for draft dodging.
In his pre-fight press conference with Frazier he needled effectively by implying Frazier had a personal hygiene problem. He would start sniffing and grimace. Lawsuits were brought about by reporters with broken cameras; and other such "colorful" behavior. He was always volatile trainers soon discovered.

Frank Bruno was one of the nicest guys i can remember. His laugh is boss. Such a booming laugh. His partnership with Harry Carpenter was pretty awesome too. Know what i mean 'Arry.
Wlad K seems a classy guy but i have heard that he and Vitali can be pretty ruthless when it comes to business and such. Either way, they've only really lost they're cool with Haye from what i can remember.
Floyd Patterson seemed a great guy too. He kind of reminded me of a guy that didn't really want to fight...he always seemed to be distant. IDK if that makes sense to people but thats how i feel about Floyd.
