      I'm sick of heavyweights today being modest and lacking any attitude or personality. I've seen and heard from Byrd and vitaliand 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?

      I am completely shocked. At last we have two decent guys Vitali and Chris rule the division! And... there goes you who wants some dorky trash-talkers instead of these decent guys?

      I just dont understand this.

        I would just love vitali to say; he's gonna bury williams and not
        how hard the fight will be. What we need is a terrel owens of
        boxing; some one who talks the talk, and walks the walk!

            James Toney is bravado and a half. Hasim Rahman is ****y, but why? He hasn't looked good against top tier opposition since the first Lewis fight.

              Exactly...fans love a guy who wins a few nice matches and a belt and starts talking all sorts of ****...and the gets KTFO. It makes the whole good guy bad guy thing a lot better. A good example is Antonio Tarver...he's very confident right now and has a mouth on him and the general consensus from fight fans is that they want to see this guy handed his ass. But he's still better for the sport in a way that Byrd and Vitali aren't.
