Who Is Boxings Best Role-Model?

[Cotto Rules]

Juan Diaz, Shane Mosley, George Foreman, the Klits, JMM, RJJ are all pretty polite, soft spoken fighters. Plus they're confident hard workers.

Suprised no one has mentioned Alexis Arguello yet considering.

No, he comitted suicide.

Rocky Marciano.


Never said anything bad about any of his opponents or anyone around him. Lived a clean life and always stood up for the little man(often being an underdog himself). Best discipline I've ever heard of, it's why he was unbeaten.
There are a lot of stories about him and I'd advice anyone to read books about him. Marciano the true class act of boxing.

LOL, i thought you were gonna say Naseem Hamed and Bernard Hopkins for other reasons.

My man Sugar Ray Robinson.

I'm currently reading his autobiography. He did cheat on his wife but the man is just a man. He's not perfect.

I like the way New York Times reviewed this book.(Sugar Ray Robinson)

"The Sugar Ray Robinson story, like most true life fables, is often incredible. But it is, withal, a very human story-a story of poverty and riches, success and failure, pride and humility, good and bad."

WTF is a role model anyway? Sugar Ray was a gentleman and a warrior in the ring. He was a human being like you and I.

He can be a boxing role model.

Kostya Tszyu is a good role model, doesnt trash talk nor say bad things against his opponents, Hatton had so many nice words to tell about what kostya has told him after their fight.

Another good call... Was almost in tears when he grabbed the mic after losing to Hatton.
