I don't know, a guy can be nice in public when the cameras are on but different behind closed doors, and vice versa.
That being said, despite his egomania, i respect roy jones quite a bit for his generosity such as the nypd benefit fight with bryant brannon, and helping support gerald mcclellan and his family.
Floyd Mayweather. And don't say, oh, look how much he talks.....and then people think Ricky Hatton is supposed to be a "nice" guy....He's the one that starting talking **** in the first place, "You've seen more excitement in this fight than PBF's whole career". IMAGINE somebody put you down like that! I would commence the **** talking and then whoop on him too. The camera/TV shows Floyd as arrogant/****y, but nobody talks about the good the he does/is outside the ring. Plus, you never hear of any night club fights/ incidents with him....
Other than that, there's a few guys like Allan Green, Shane Mosley, Lennox
I agree. But also Hatton is pretty nice, and Forrest too. And Oscar, and Klitsko and Pavlik. It has to do with your background and how you were brought up. One curious fact is legendary fighters generaly believe they are the best and will absolutely demolish however they can whoever questions their deed. In this particular you can compare many of Floyd's personality traits to Ali's. Both believed they were the best of the world and nothing could either prove them wrong or shut them up otherwise. Contrarily of what people think, Ali was absolutely HATED when he was active and was dragged into many fights when he wasn't willing anymore trough financial pressure and provocation, which he lost, at the end of his career. They both talked trash about their opponents, both had particular styles not seen in any of their competition (Ali was slick and punching in combos in an era fighters were not sure a heavyweight should do combinations or look for stronger punches, Mayweather uses his shoulder and inovative tactics to stop his opponents).
Also remember being on top brings alot of pressure, you can't be too nice and be n1.
