The most modest champion that I know now:
1. Oscar dela Hoya - He acknowledge a great opponent when he loses. Just like his recent fight with Hopkins. Even if he is worth millions, he is still down-to-earth. He talks very decent without being boast when he wins a fight. Help his fellow boxers.
2. Manny Pacquiao - Still very humble. I think he is the richest athlete in the Philippines right now (self-made). Helps his relatives financially. Still reconizes where he came from.
How about you guys?
For Jirov I agree but Toney???
are we talking about the same guy who isn't even a champ(in heavyweight I mean) but still calling averybody a "bum" or a "junk"?
when he meets a real good heavy he'll get his big mouth shut I think :-)
Kosta Tszyu baby!!! I like Kosta, he trains hard, and fights easy.
hes got discipline, strength and a great sports sportsmen plus role model. That was a good question: whos modest champ? thats hard to answer.
Jose Luis Castillo.
When they asked Floyd after they robbed Castillo in their first fight what he thought about the fight, he said the fight was easy for me.
When they asked Castillo if he felt he easily won the fight, his response was, no i thought it was a tough fight but i thought i won.

I sure hope Manny stays humble. It will be a big test once he earns One Million Big Ones.
