Charisma should be a respected attribute in a boxer.

The fact that there isn't a global boxing star today shows that having the ability to be a likeable character or at least a person that can draw fans to the sport, is an ability in itself.

Thurman has charisma, watch his interviews. .Canelo has the personality of a rock but he's the new face of PPV boxing due to nationality.

That's why guys like ODLH, Fury, Golovkin were/are natural draws.

I only respect boxing skill and ability.

Personality and charisma are nice toppings but without the meat and potatoes of the fight game they are empty calories.

I have always been impressed by DeLa Hoya, i see his amateur fights at 16/17 and everyone, the commentators, attendance and even the other boxers seems to be delighted by him.

Problem with this idea is that charisma is a very personal thing. I think McGreggor is as charming as a dried dog turd, but many would disagree. Was never a fan of Ali's personality. Early Tyson (stoic) had charisma to me. The later Tyson did not. "Charisma" has a lot to do with the audience, culture, etc.

well ggg is always nice and respectful with the good boy and drama show for fans talk but he gets hated on like no tommorow, so being a face in boxing is unrealistic.

He gets hate not because of charisma but because he has a douchebag fan base.

hmm, in terms of how you rate a fighter i dont think charisma should be considered an attribute as such. Obviously though its very beneficial in how a fighters career progresses as they will attract a fan base, or 'haters' (mayweather probably the obvious example) of people tuning into watch them lose.

lol i dont think the fanbase is that bad. Me and a few others get carried away occasionally but i dont think its crazy bad. Wasnt on this site at the time but i know from other places how bad the pacquiao fans used to be
