Of course I know Ali was. Would like some interesting stories or facts about some characters of boxing. I appreciate your input.|||There are many fighters that give us reason to watch boxing. There were Sugar Ray Leonard, Ray Robinson, George Foreman, Mike Tyson, and many more. In recent history, there were Roy Jones Jr., Felix Trinidad, Arturo Gatti, and Erik Morales. Nowadays, there%26#039;s Pacman, Arce, Floyd, and Oscar.
They all have colorful personalities and an exciting persona. They are fun inside the ring and give us excitement.|||Rocky Balboa...|||Chris Eubank was one of boxings most charismatic characters a true excentric to the point of being slightly weird. You don%26#039;t see too many people riding a harley davison whilst wearing a suit complete with waistcoat, pocket watch, monacle etc. He was more known for his lavish ring entrances rather than his fights and despite his arrogant act was quite a respectful and honest fighter, he never ranked himself as the best fighter in his weight class publicly saying both Micheal Nunn and Roy Jones Jr would most probably beat him if they ever met. He was one of those fighter that you love or hate but was always good to watch. Also in answer to statments above Jorge Paez was the orginal rope flip bloke another charismatic fighter nice shorts etc. Prince Naseem was charismatic to an extent but wasent original his whole image seemed to be copied from other fighters.|||ray robinson,ali,ray leonard,prince naseem,jorge peaz,pazmanian devil, hecytor camacho,little red lopez,and pernell whitaker.|||I%26#039;ve never seen anything better than Jorge %26quot;El maromero%26quot; Paez, good fighter %26amp; good show.|||Foreman was and is one of the most entertaining personalities. He makes fun of himself alot saying Ali did really rope a dope. Foreman may joke and poke fun at himself but he was a great puncher and good boxer.|||Prince Naseem Hamed was the backflipping boxer. He disappeared from boxing after his loss to Marco Antonio Barrera 5 or 6 years ago. He got in some trouble with the law and was jailed for awhile, but I believe he is trying to make a comeback. Hopefully so, it was fun watching his antics and boxing style. Even when losing to Barrera, he was still dancing and showboating.|||I had the good fortune to be with a good friend of mine from LA two easters ago and he and one of his friends was entertaining Winky Wright his wife and their two kids...a group of 14 of us hung out all day long at Disneyland ...the park was so packed (they announced attendance at over 54k later that day and had to close it to incoming...we got our run of the whole place, in the vip line to the rides on the left of the regular ropes) he was so down to earth and cool, just like any homie you hang out with any day...and he had told me...%26#039;this fight with Trinidad is the best opportunity for me and my family%26#039; after which he beat Felix in a unanimous decision...|||Vinny Pazienza, Hector %26quot;Macho%26quot; Camacho, Jake La Motta, Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, Jorge Paez used to do a flip off the ring corner, he was originally a circus clown. Rocky Graziano, George Foreman with his eating habits. Prince Naseem Hamed, Paul Malignaggi another flashy fighter. Roy Jones Jr with his ring entrances and talking to the camera while he was fighting.|||1.Fernando %26quot;El Feroz%26quot; Vargas.
2.Pac-man.... (I don%26#039;t like him all through)
3.Mike Tyson - I was small when I watched his fights but, man k.o. other boxers in one rund during his prime.
