If you were a boxer, would you be a trashtalker or the strong silent type?

    trash talker but not the type that annoys people like mayweather. more like the type that gets people laughing like mayorga.
    i think wladamir was quite comical after the haye fight without saying one word.

    Witty? Not unintelligent, but snidey. Also lacking that spark of personal charisma.

    I would hire an expert to conduct research into who I appeal to and what they want. I would then conform to their expectations and work to market myself. Every aspect of my public life would be manufactured.

    Strong silent type would be Miguel Cotto, not Pac.

    I definitely have a passive-aggressive side, so I can see myself being a Froch like character, full of backhanded compliments.

    I'd try and do a bit of everything. I'd give backhanded compliments, go on long philosophical monologues, humorous insults, political statements, and do lots of aggravating self-hype. Ideally, I'd want to come off like a cross between Chael Sonnen (UFC), Chris Jerico (WWE), and Hercule/Mr. Satan (Dragon Ball Z.)

    The idea would be to get under my opponent's skin before the fight and build fan interest, but after the fight was over I'd show respect and praise my opponent in some way shape or form
