    By meaning, they're hilarious, good value, a great for the sport and very charismatic.

    I love Chris Eubank. Hilarious fella and just full of lols.

    Tony Harrison - The lead up the The Tszyu fight was jam packed full of laughs. I like Tony Harrison. He comes up with some rippers. You can laugh all day at him. And all night.

    Michael Zerafa - A combination of hilarious, fire, amongst other things. Loved his heated exchanges with Jeff Horn and his trainer Glen Rushton. The '' Don't eat Pizza '' and '' Im ending his ****ing career '' along with a jab at Rushton '' We will have a discussion. And If I turn on ya, then that's on you '' made me **** myself. A Lion who would decapitate Glen Rushton's head in a matter of seconds.

    Floyd was Money pardon the pun. Full of lol's and heated exchanges with press and fighters. Got underneath Oscar's skin.

    Mundine comedy and good for the sport.

    Tim Tszyu is just brutally honest I often find myself bursting out into laughter just hearing his harsh words of reality. 100 percent from the heart. I love it.

    Many Aussies are good for a laugh. Mazoudier too he's a brutal ****. In a good way. I want him to fight soon he's a good boxer.

    Neesham was a laugh and a half.

    Fury, Wilder, always entertainment.

    And of course, '' The Greatest '' although not the greatest in my book. But the greatest showman, trash talker and hype generator of all time. He must have kick started all this back and forth stuff surely?

    Legend.

    Muhammad Ali - for me the largest character boxing has ever had.

    Keith Thurman is pretty awesome. He's helping to build Tim Tszyu's profile nicely. Thurman is straight up hilarious though.

    Ali is the greatest showman there ever was or ever will be. And the second coming of George Foreman is not far behind him.

    Special mention to Frank Bruno too. You had to love the genial Pom.

    Joe Frazier was just an insanely likable guy. I read that he always went out of his way to be kind to his fans. Think he gave the sport a good name when he was at his peak.

    Bruce "The Moose" (or "The Mouse" depending on what night you got him) Strauss.

    Tim "Doughboy" Tomashek. Like Strauss, a Letterman fave.

    Wilbert Johnson. Called "The Vampire" because he proudly paraded his lack of front teeth, thus accentuating his canines. Typically entered the ring wearing a Dracula-style cape, occasionally having himself carried in a coffin.

    Also agreeing emphatically with inclusion of the loveable Tex Cobb. At the post-fight presser after Larry Holmes successfully kept his jab in Tex's face for 15 rounds (leading to Howard Cosell's performative declaration he was done announcing boxing), Tex said he'd hope for a rematch -- in a phone booth ... to which Larry of course replied: "Good! I'll call you!"
