    As much as David Haye's inactivity and negotiations antics annoy me, he's always come across in interviews as quite a cool bloke with a good sense of humour.

    We don't know who are the nice guys in boxing because we don't know them. Somebody might shake your hand and be really nice but go home and watch kiddy porn or beat his wife. We don't know them.

    Corrie Sanders was meant to be a really nice guy (RIP) and another genuinely nice guy who is sadly no longer with us anymore is Emanuel Steward (RIP).

    I went to a Rahman fight once. Immediately after the fight was over I was yelling and asking for a picture. He was already half way down the aisle to go backstage and he finally heard me, stopped in his tracks, walked back, wrapped his arm around me and let my wife take a pic.

    Smiling and very polite the whole time. He actually kept apologizing for not KO'ing the guy sooner and struggling more than he should have.

    Foreman, Hearns, and Froch are all very nice guys outside the ring.

    Mosley did roids. Not nice. Vernon called him out for it on fnf and looked like a jerk, but it turned out he wasn't.

    I like how Lennox and Rahman are getting mentioned despite rolling around a studio set with each other.

    As long as as you don't call Tyson a ******, he's a nice guy. I still crack up at the interview
