    I can't think of one, usually they all seem to be pretty good on camera and know eachother pretty well.

      I'm just talking social skills in general, like being good with the media, fans, etc etc. But were really good in the arena fighting wise.

        Sonny Liston was pretty surly\

        Young George Forman was pretty bad too

          Yea, but that was like hundred million years ago. I'm talking about recent fighters, like in the last 20 years or so. They all seem to be well socialized n ****. I can't think of a fighter in the last 50 years that became legendary who wasn't good on camera, charimastic, etc etc.

            Practice makes perfect. A lot of these athletes start off kinda shy, but then they become better in front of the mic. Go look at Mayweather's post fight interviews in his first few fights.
