Five Most Arrogant / Five most humble

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.Arrogant
#1 Marlon Starling
#2 James Toney
#3 Floyd Mayweather
#4 Nigel Benn
#5 Naseem Hamed
Humble
#1 Michael Watson
#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.

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.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.

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.Comment

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.Comment

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.Yeah great post, Hamed was going on like a ****in idiot saying **** like every punch he threw was gonna be from Islam.

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.Comment
