    If we are including paper belts, then Scott Quigg takes the title.

    Here you go Mr Bent nose, in big letters for you. SINCE NASEEM HAMED. Hope that helps you. Witter, Galahad, and Brook are all personality free Hamed wannabes.
    Nelson seems a good guy, just keep him away from an auto cue....

    Yeah cause it matters if your great talker doesn't it :/.
    Being a **** talker isn't gonna affect any Sky Box Office revenue that he receives in the future. Hes skills in the ring cover up his poor talking skills.

    - talking about brook btw

    So because Ricky Burns is a nice guy it makes him the least charismatic British Champion of all time? :lol::lol::lol: come the **** on

    watch a Terrence Crawford interview for an example of someone without charisma

    Met Burns after Froch v Groves 1, had a crack with him before he had to shoot off.. didn't come across as dull at all. As has been said, nice guy.

    But he's not a **** talker so that means he has no charisma (reminds of the people who said Adrien Broner was "charismatic", being obnoxious and loud does not eqate to having charisma)

    I guarantee that Broner has made more money in his career thus far than Burns, despite Burns being 6 years older.

    Nobody is interested in someone who is as boring and dull as Burns. It's why Quigg struggles to secure a huge fan base too. Nice guys, but dull as dishwater.

    That's because of hype, not because he talked a lot, boxers who talk **** are a ****ing dime a dozen, in fact you will find more boxers like Broner than you will like Ricky Burns

    And Burns isn't dull, Burns gives good interviews, when he was asked about Broners defeat against Maidana Ricky made some great points, anything but boring

    We'll have to agree to disagree. He's a nice guy, that much is obvious, but he's ****ing boring in my opinion. Has nothing of interest to say.

    This is the entertainment business. Unless you are incredibly gifted, you have to be able to sell yourself as well as fight and Burns can't do that.

    He's been incredibly lucky in that he's come from a small country with no other world level boxers for him to share the spotlight. He had it all to himself.

    Burns did sell himself on being an everyman who still worked in a sports shop, as the nice gy underdog who did things the hard way, you say Quigg struggles to secure a big fanbase, maybe, but since when did Ricky struggle to secure a big fanbase?
