    ...The Noble Savage?

    It was originally applied to the American Indian in Dryden's 17th century poem; and the painting was the source for Johnny Depp's makeup in THE LONE RANGER

    Do you mean someone who's savage in the ring, but a gentleman outside of it, JG? Or something else?

    in his prime Sugar Shane Mosley.

    Andre Ward as well but he is far from savage.

    Manny pacquiao deserves a shot.
