    Ray Mancini deserves a mention too.

    Richie Woodhall ex WBC 168 Champ was a regular customer at the fishing equipment store I worked at and we struck up an instant rapport. I made sure He got a good discount and I got tickets for a few of his fights he's a lovely fella . I have a pic of me in a ring with him with the WBC belt.

    I think Marvin Hagler is one of the nicest guys. Tough in the ring, but a nice guy outside.

    Tommy Hearns always seemed to be a good guy.

    Arguello for me. Big shout out to Donaire who by all accounts is a real class act too. After the Frampton fight he put up either a tweet or a FB post, cant remember which but i seen it myself, saying that he would be in the Crown bar (in belfast) from 8pm if any fans wanted to join them for drinks.

    Not a fan of Wladamir Klitschko as a fighter but after seeing a couple interviews I found him extremely likable. Seeing Vitali get pissed off at the Sanders and Joshua fights also definitely appealed to the protective older brother in me.

    Yeah, I was just making a point yesterday in another thread that Vitali don’t seem like the kind of character that would cower or be nervous about facing anyone in the ring and I think that applies outside the ring too. He looks like he would rip your head off if you walked up to him and insulted him to his face. Wlad though looks a lot calmer and far more approachable than Vitali.

    RJJ, Lennox Lewis, Chris Byrd seem like really likable guys to talk to.
    Right now Manny Pacquiao (no matter what you think of him), Nonito Donaire, Danny Jacobs, and Vasyl Lomachenko comes across as down to earth gentlemen.
