    What? The thread is about fighters with Zero personality. Yes, Wlad was very financially successful. So was Cedric Kushner. But listening to him talk was like watching paint dry.

    Met Spinks he' s quiet.. humble but friendly. He looks a bit fragile actually.

    Moorer never had the type of charisma or warmth that people were looking for in their heavyweights back in the early 90's (for whatever reason, I'd rather have one that can fight)

    Sonny didn't have math skills above "10". Sad situation.

    Heres another: Bob Foster

    You couldnt get two words out of the guy and when he delivered his one word answers he did it with pure contemp for the person he was speaking to. Theres a video on youtube where hes older and has an oxygen tank and hes actually pretty affable. Dont let it fool you. Its the only time Ive ever seen him act like that anywhere. Imagine a monosyllabic perpetually irritated Larry Holmes. Thats Bob Foster. The guy made Sonny Liston look like a motor mouth.

    Guy was a cop, and a serious one at that from everything I've ever heard. What do ya' expect?

    Cops are all boring jerks with zero personality? Regardless he fits what the OP was asking for.

    Never had the chance to meet a few of the boys in blue in your parts? Police forces on America's coasts aren't exactly known for being of particularly high quality, or am I missing something?

    Foster wasnt from the coast and no I dont think being a cop is what made him a colorless agitated monosyllabic jerk.

    I’ve always said the same thing about Ward.

    Regarding the family man comment: I notice Ward hasn’t worn his wedding band during the last few HBO telecasts. I’ve done okay in life, but am far from Ward’s level as I am not a professional athlete. If Mrs. Ward is anything like my wife she must be livid to see her man on TV without his wedding band.

    You're right on here...as great as Foster was, he always came off as a cryptic, surly, hostile *******.
