    I am a big wrestling fan. You can find interviews of former stars. Like Bret hart and ric flair. They are bitter and angry. And then there's hulk hogan. He was a politician and a jerk backstage. So I was wondering about how many cases like this exsit in the world of boxing? Any thoughts? Sugar ray lenord deserves a mention for what he did to Marvin hagler.

    In the current era, Floyd Mayweather is probably top of the pile

    Ali was pretty much a jackass. Totally full of himself and ridiculing his opponents for a cheap laugh.

    I've heard Holyfield is actually pretty stuck up.
    Robinson was a complete jerk and big wife beater.
    LaMotta, while fan friendly, was also a scumbag at the same time. LaMotta is a very interesting man.

    Monzon beat his wives and murdered his last one. He was serving time for it when he was killed.

    What did Ali think about Sonny Liston adopting a little white boy from Sweden? Did it get him bitchslapped outside the Thunderbird again?

    I'm asking?

    I assume the kid was white, though.

    Dempsey was a small time pimp and blatantly ducked fighting in The Great War, fabricating photos and alibis.

    But he was a saint.

    I'd never heard about Liston adopting the little boy. I just found several articles about it on Google. I assume he was white, too.
    Thanks for the info.

    Hector Camacho, Sr. was a 24/7 mugger 'n trouble-maker -- a felony with shoes on. Nothing kept him in check.

    To be polite, he found things before they were lost.

    Jerk, or complete scumbag?

    LaMotta, Monzon, Ayala, Jo-El Scott, and Morel are/were scumbags.

    McGrain and Stonehands are the Liston aficionados here. All Marciano fans are not, except SuzieQ.
