    Good idea for a thread. I will make similar one in the lounge.

    Evander Holyfield has always come across as quite bland personality wise,crapping on about God and little else of any interest despite being an absolute star and involved in some awesome fights.

    That said he's also a chronic ***** hound outside the ring so he clearly isn't completely boring.

    Joe may've babbled, S, but he definitely wasn't invisible, like Pender 'n Folley.

    To be honest,in his first career,I think Foreman was just a bit shy. He adopted the Sonny Liston like personna as a psychological suit of armour,and it suited his ring style too.

    Floyd Mayweather seems to be pretty void of personality.

    Probably the most cringe-worthy attempt at changing a fighter's image from blank to playa was John "THE QUITE MAN" Ruiz at his first presser in Vegas for the defense of his hvy title against Roy Jones.

    He strutted out like King of the Pimps, velvet hat, two-story pumps 'n a jeweled walking stick.

    Roland LaStarza didn't exactly set the world on fire and neither have the klitschkos I believe. Or Emile Griffith to me. I just found this site and wonder how you get to a chatroom to talk about fighters live? Don't know much how to work this computor, so I have a little bit of trouble. And how do you get those pictures under your name.

    First, welcome to the forum, s. Pretty much a Stone Age guy myself, so know zip about the computer, but I'm sure some one on the thread will take you through how to get a pic on your avatar.

    click 'User CP' at the top left of the page, its on the second row of buttons at the top on the far left.

    Then once you are on that page look down the list at the left and look for 'Edit Avater' then choose a file from your computer, if that is where your picture you want is from.

    Orlando and Gaby Canizales didn't have much of a personality other than being 2 of the nicest and most humble people you'd ever meet.
