    What heavy division needs is some attitude,charisma

    I'm sick of heavyweights today being modest and lacking any

    attitude or personality. I've seen and heard from Byrd and vitali

    and it lacks any of the characterics of Ali, Foreman, and Tyson

    with respect to charisma,attitude,or arrogance. When Ali fought

    his oppenents he talked trash, made fun of, disrespected, and

    even predicted when he would knock them out. Tyson was known to

    talk trash about his oppenents and even start fights at the press

    conferences. Vitali talks about how good a fighter williams is

    and how it will be a tough fight. Chris Byrd is buddies with his

    oppenents! Enough already, why can't heavyweight fighters today

    talk about how weak their opponents are and how they are gonna

    whoop them so bad their grandparents in Ukraine will feel it!

    What the division needs is a fighter who is witty, and trashes

    his opponents in and out of the ring. What are your opinions?

      You ever heard of James Toney or Hasim Rahman?

            I think Byrd and Vitali do act like champs(lets forget Ruiz, cause he's a titlest not a champion) they are well spoken, bright, good sportsman, good role models and are fierce compeitors.

                No I was offended by your treatement of Byrd as well. Ruiz is just a whiney *****, so he doesn't count.

                  I saw Chris Byrd being interviewed before toney's last fight and all due respect, he was boring and uninteresting. He got great
                  speed and skills know all he has to do is just study Ali when he was outside the ring.

                    This is where you and I differ, I respect your opinion on wanting champions who are ****y and arrogant, and it is refreshing to see them every once in awhile, but I prefer classy "boring" champions.
