    No. He behaves like a spoiled brat when interacting with his opponents before the fights. He does not do trashtalk but behaves extremly rude and arrogant.

    Except only one of your league of extraordinary gentlemen carried himself with grace and class inside the ring by always boxing 100% clean and by the book with no intentional rules infractions that I can remember, like...ever (in stark contrast with the other two)

    marvin hagler for an american ATG he was the calmest least braggard

    he had such a hard slog to get a title shot and then fought the best he could when champ.

    i always liked him as a boxer and a man

    Depends how you define gentleman, Chris Eubank senior pretends to be one and dresses like one. I'd say Ricky Burns is a gent

    Except Dan Goossen when the old man was dying of cancer, Ward had a lot of bad things to say about him then.

    In fact I'd say Mik is more of a gentleman than Wlad & Dre combined. :deal:

    I have no comment, I value them all equally in terms of being gents.

    All were class personified!

    From my understanding, being inside the squared circle is kind of like being in New Jersey. And while I've never once had the balls, skills, or ability fight inside a prize ring myself, I've lived most of my life in Jersey, and in Jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught.
