      #2 Mike McCallum
      #3 Old George Foreman
      #4 Ricky Hatton
      #5 Chris Eubank

      I've met Hamed and Benn both arrogant to the extreme and ****y as arseholes. Benn is a complete and utter nob even to his own fans.

      Also met Watson,McCallum,Foreman and Eubank and they are all extremely nice and humble. Most will be surprised to see Eubank on a humble list as he was ****y and arrogant in front of the camera but off of it he is the opposite a real genuine nice guy who gave me plenty of time and an autograph and even joked with me as I was wearing a Nigel Benn T-Shirt at the time.
      Interesting that you've got Marlon Starling on your list. I've never met him even though he supposedly lived down the street from me growing up. My brother met him once and said he was a nice guy. I do remember Starling refusing to admit that Tomás Molinares even knocked him down after he was counted out ("I wasn't knocked out! I wasn't knocked down!"). That might be the height of arrogance. I think that he was just loopy from the shot he took.

        Muahamad Ali: -especially in pre-fights
        2. James Toney:
        3. Wikny Wright: - see Taylor VS Wright
        4. Marco Antonio Barrera : see 12th round Barrera-Hamed. He slammed Hamed's face into a turnbakle cause he knew he was winning the fight. Pure arrogance.
        5. Naseem Hamed :Uh!

        Top Five Most Humble (in no particular order)

        1. Glen Johnson : - "I'm not the best, i just want to fight the best"

        3. Joe Luis Castillo - very honest guy
        4. Diego Corrales : - Confident guy, took losses with dignity

              Arrogant

              Hamed - I remember years ago when he was amatuer him coming up to mouth off to someone I know who was boxing Ryan Rhodes and a local trainer of ours growling at him "**** off son before I knock you out" lol Hamed ****ed straight off.

              Tarver - Overrates himself

              Holmes - Hes a very bitter man

              PBF - Cant give anyone he fights their due

              James Toney - Alot of it's an act IMO but he still grinds on me when hes talking **** lol.

              Humble

              Hatton - Down to earth and genuine

              Alfonso Gomez - Top bloke no edge to him at all

              Frank Bruno - Good guy

              Jose Luis Castillo - No excuses for his losses , a true warrior

              Michael Watson - Brave fighting man with heart of a lion but not arrogant with it

                Wow, I can't think of any instance when Barerra has been arrogant. I mena just look at his back ground, he came from money and still decided to do what he loves the most.

                The instance of him slamming Hammed's head into the turn buckle was because #1, Hammed picked one of the holiest days in the Christian faith to fight him and try and humilate him. #2 look at the fight and see the antics Hammed was imploring, slapping at him, talking to him, clowning around the ring with his hands completely by his side.

                Hammed was an ******* and deserves the beating and humiliation he got. All that "There is no God but Allah" crap was mad disrespectful.

                  Yeah great post, Hamed was going on like a ****in idiot saying **** like every punch he threw was gonna be from Islam.
                  If a christian went on about a ****** fighter like that there'd be uproar, I was pleased Barerra shut Hameds ****** mouth up, made him eat his words.
                  Hamed was trying to turn the fight into something it wasn't (religion against religion) so he deserved the **** he took.
                  Barerra top man in my eyes for beating Hamed the way he did.

                    Yea and what alot of people around the world don't realize is that Mexico is a very religious country and they take Christianity very seriously. Hammed was being extremely disrespectful and I don't even know if he knew how disrespectful he was being.

                    Let me put it it to you this way, if Barrera was fighting in a ****** country and saying and doing the things Hammed was doing, Barrera's life would have been threatened and they would have had to postpone the fight in fear of Barerra's life.

                    The best part is when Hammed came in with the flag yelling "Allah akbar" and all Barerra did was kiss his rosary and commence to kicking Hammeds ass.....I loved it.

                      At least Hamed was humble and gracious in defeat.
