What beast in the ring...

Lennox Lewis laid out some vicious KOs then acted like a gentleman. Wore suits, played chess and was never arrested.

Nonito Donarie is as nice of a guy as I've ever met. Very cool, very humble, and p4p fighter.

BTW, a prime Cotto was a beast in the ring in my opinion.

 

Here's one you might not automatically think of as qualifying: Tapia.

He made a lot of bad choices and was erratic and impulsive, but he was outwardly nice to everybody and tried - despite sort of background that would drive anyone to badness - to be good.

 

Great call. Especially towards the end of his life.

 

:deal polite, well-mannered and eloquent. i always thought of him as eloquent. i like the way he expresses himself.

 

What's funny is making assumptions about a guy's general behavior because of one act. Human beings aren't that simple. atsch

 

Yeah because that was the only bad thing Tyson did. Ever.

 

its funny. his son is the complete opposite

 

i never heard anyone talk bad about him. all around good guy

 

80's Tyson? What else did he do (that you know of)?

 

cotto

 

Paul Spadafora.

 

Nigel Benn

 

Tyson in general, or did he suddenly morph into another person as soon as 1990 began?, like a ****ing caterpillar or some ****. You can't just pigeonhole a certain time in a person's life and use that as an accurate example of how he is/was overall bro, humans beings aren't that simple :bart

I don't even know what point you're trying to make here. This argument is stupid.

 

Dempsey was vicious to his opponents as well as sparring partners. However, most personal accounts seem to paint him as a total gentleman.
