    Armstrong and Louis weren't charismatic from what I've seen. Both workman-like professionals that seemed shy and uncomfortable talking, especially Louis.

    Not the greatest fighter, but Vinny Paz seems to fit the bill. Maybe not thrilling enough, though.

    Tyson always was charismatic and still is. In and out of the RIng he creates excitement

    Mike was less charismatic outside the ring in his younger day when he was more professional.

    Tyson is back to being charismatic nowadays.

    Did you really find Mike to be charismatic from '95 to '05? To me he was very much a psychopathic thug during that period of his career...

    An enigma if there ever was one. A sad, albeit inevitable given his lifestyle, ending for a very colorful character.

    From a British perspective Nigel Benn, and like others have already said Tyson, and even though i didn't like him back then Ray Leonard.
