    With all of the scorn being poured on Wilder over the last few days for his outbursts and anger which still active fighter gives the most embarrassing interviews?

    For me it's a close run thing between Dave 'I'm nowhere near as funny as I think I am' Allen and James 'The Buture's Fright' DeGale.

    Who do you have to watch talk through your fingers?

    Eubank Jr and his dad too. Wilder. Floyd Jr. Billy Joes are pretty bad too.

    Tony Thompson talking about having sex with his wife and she needing hip surgery or something. It was like, ok that's a little funny, then he kept it going and going.

    It was both cringey and awesome when Showtime put referee Russell Mora on the mic after his catastrophic work in the Abner Mares vs. Joseph Agbeko fight.

    Marlon Starling delivered some classic cringe after being kayoed after the bell vs. Tomas Molinares

    Both good calls. I'm a little surprised no-one has suggested Broner as an American candidate.

    Jeff Horn's media engagements are usually pretty awkward too - the "Hey Manny, we know you like money!" video was one of the most cringeworthy call outs of all time.

    After 'winning' the Manny fight, did he not get out a walking stick and call out Mayweather?

    Shudder then cringe

    English is the funniest interviewee in the entire universe, want are you smoking?

    He is the greatest troll of all time.

    Frank Warren gives pretty terrible interviews as does Fat Mick.

    Young Christopher and English are great at interviews.

    They are characters and have a gift with words. Especially English, he is quality.

    If its arrogance or **** talking that is cringeworthy than Eddie Hearn is the absolute worst (although I think he does a great interview too)

    Ffs GGG is atrocious at interviews tbh, but he gets a pass for it being his second language. He actually seems like he has a bit of personality but he doesn't have the english skills to verbalise it.

    He might be quality if he spoke his native tongue. I doubt it though because his fake nice guy act is boring

    I think Sr. knows how to play the game but his son is pretty poor. Everything he does comes across as false. He's like a poster boy for IG and all the fakery that goes into people's accounts.

    I think there's a whole culture of fakery within a large segment of my generation and he's a symptom of that. I think being shallow, vapid and false is sadly who he is.
