[NChristo]

Vicente Saldivar
Archie Moore

[Capaedia]

Alexis Arguello

Tyson said that Floyd Patterson was extremely introverted.

I'd say Arguello, Rocky Marciano. From what I've seen of Rocky, the most he would usually say before a fight was "I hope to win" and would often mention he would work really hard to win his next fight, like the training footage shown in his Boxing's Best bio for the first Walcott fight.

[The Iron Man]

Tyson said that Floyd Patterson was extremely introverted.

Yep thats who came into mind when I read the thread title!

[Miburo]

Vicente Saldivar
Archie Moore

Moore was actually pretty outspoken publicly in order to secure big fights.

Orlando Canizales

[StarshipTrooper]

Floyd Patterson hands down. And Louis, of course.
