    Some fun stuff. No Toney which makes it kind of moot (he's #1 lock in my view).

    Who would make it in from pre 1930?

    I think Roman Karmazin deserves at least an honourable mention. |Te stuff he comes out with (in Russian) rivals Toney IMO

    My hat's off to the original..well, he may not have been the "original", but certainly boxing's most legendary "mouth"..the Louisville Lip.

    There's a difference between being cocky and having a big mouth, Mayweather for instance has a big mouth but I wouldn't call him cocky because he's a insecure and trying to be like other people rather than just being himself, Tyson too is insecure but he's his own man. RJJ was cocky and confident as hell, so was Ali and both aren't trying to be anyone but themselves and have a bit of humour in their arrogance. Hamed certainly didn't look confidense, pure entertainer and could be a funny lad himself

    Ali's sense of humor kept him from being a horse's dick with all his mouth..unlike some of these assholes like Toney and Mayweather...Jones is pretty cool..rather he was pretty cool..and not a bitter racist **** like Hopkins.
