    SRR has to be on the list. Any old great fighter, for that matter. Great fighters but people put to much nostalgia into them.

    Well ive got a mate from round where Calzaghes from and apparently he is a bit of a **** in real life, but thats just word of mouth

    Maccas a sound guy though, always speaks his mind and despite his run of bad luck I hope he can turn it around and do well at 175, Gave my aunt a free autograph because she gave him a pen to sign autographs when he came without one haha

    Khan- everyone loves the guy, takes his losses like a man, highly articulate also.

    seriously though Evander 'Real Deal' Holyfield, Arturo 'Thunder' Gatti, Emmanuel Augustus

    I don't know about most beloved probably SRR,Ali, and Duran, Arguello & Gatti too. Hagler and Frazier represented everything a fighter should be also imo.

    Kessler is amazing, extremely articulate and down to earth, despite the pure bad-ass gangster appearance
