    What is the quirks that some boxers have got that make them unique. For starters. Gamboa always bows to the ref when he's been caught for a dodgy move as in 2:58

    Another one I like is Gatti blowing his nose all over his corner men between rounds. I can't find a vid for this but I've seen it in a few of his fights.

    Any others?

    Sergio Martinez always wishes the other fighter "Good luck" when meeting in the middle to touch gloves.

    Mosley making a let-down face whenever he gets caught with a shot he shouldn't have, and sometimes nodding when he gets set-up.

    Cotto breathing like a fish out of water in-between rounds.

    De La Hoya looking to the sky before pretty much every fight starts.

    Chris Arreola keeps a burrito in his trunks, and takes a couple of bites during the breaks between rounds.





    And Gabe Brown is morbidly obese. Its not a habit, but its something, that I feel should be mentioned.

    Martinez touching his nose every few seconds when fighting.
    Also Maidana pulling up his pants non stop.

    One poster here put it something like "Cotto lands a good jab, then steps back and admires his work like he had just saved the Earth from a meteor"

    Micky Ward banging his gloves when he's trying to get himself going is another one as emulated by marky mark in the fighter.
