Who is the best "personality" in boxing today...

its gotta be hatton

The Hayemaker doesn't lie!!!

He's like Ali minus the funny and the catchphrases and the ideology. At least Ali used his public platform to speak about his religion and beliefs on politics. Mayweather just uses it to make more money and talk about how he loves it so much. Good post. I've heard some people compare Floyd to Ali in this regard, which is ridiculous for the reasons you mention. Floyd is entertaining in a way but Ali was a genius.

muthufucking big sky tye fields. Quoted for truth. Tye Fields is the funniest boxer of all-time, the prettiest of all-time, the best of all-time, the fastest of all-time, and the greatest of all-time.

Klitschko. Someone you can actually look up to as a man. I can't say that about many boxers.

ricky hatton is a very likable guy who a lot of beer drinking, pub/bar going guys can identify with. He's got a good sense of humor too from what I can tell from the HBO 24/7 shows and press conferences. Pavlik too is a blue collar, working class dude and his style portrays it too. I guess Floyd is likable to some people too, just not me. He appeals to the mtv generation, and I think in his mind he thinks he's better at public relations than he really is. The dude doesn't have much of a sense of humor really and doesn't know how to speak with any level of subtlety. He's like Ali minus the funny and the catchphrases and the ideology. At least Ali used his public platform to speak about his religion and beliefs on politics. Mayweather just uses it to make more money and talk about how he loves it so much.

David Haye i like how he talks alot of trash and its been a while since the heavyweight division had a big character

the best personality to me is Roy Jones Jr. he makes you want to root for him now.

muthufucking big sky tye fields.

Roger Mayweather, and it's not even close... :D

One that gets overlooked because he's not American and doesn't speak English yet is Jorge Arce. But he's got to get his career back on track like it was before he got a lesson from Mijares.

I would have to go with Shane Mosley/Wlad they both have a very good personality in terms of boxing....Mr "Am not willing to fight someone because i dont want to give them a payday" Hatton... doesnt showcase someone with the best personality in boxing...It actually shows less class.

As for Floyd I guess you missed the Hatton fight...and the Corrales fight...and the Judah fight.. Floyd actually BANGED with Judah!..And he didn't have a 20lb weight advantage either.. Corrales = 2001 Judah = 2006 Hatton = 2007 you guys make this too easy. and now you're gonna tell me to go watch UFC or WWE to watch knockouts and brawling because i dont know shit about boxing right? fuckouttahere Stephanie.

In no partucular order: Haye Enzo Calzaghe Hatton Roy Jones Don King

Mayweathers cockiness has gotten him millions of dollars, alone!

Ali was DESPISED and reviled.. He's loved NOW because he's basically an invalid and can't talk shit.. Ya'll musta' forgot.. He was OK as long as he was Cassius Clay..but when he changed his name AND DENOUNCED THE WAR and REFUSED TO FIGHT..He became one of the most hated people in america. "Aint no Vietnamese ever called me a n*gger" That didn't win him any friends in white america.. Hanging-out with Malcome X didn't help either.. He was also VERY CRUEL to his competition..Floyd is MILD by comparison. "Liston is a Gorilla" "Frazier is too ugly to be Champion" He called George Chuvally....."the Washerwoman" EVERYBODY was a BUM in his eyesight.. at no point did i say he was loved in his time so :boxing: to you

Ali stood for plenty more than that. Ali also came through with what he said he would do to his opponents. there was no, "Im gonna SLAUGHTER him, Ima put a BEATIN on him, " and then go in there and potshot and dance. Ali PUNISHED and danced.

Roger Mayweather with a Bernard Hopkins honorable mention.

Tye Fields and Floyd Mayweather

shane, very classy guy
