I think Pavlik fans root for Taylor not just because him winnning makes Pavlik look better but just as much because he's a class act. Steve Cunningham is also a class act. He also had this to say, " "Dogs are truly Man's best friend. Yet some people take advantage of their loyalty by forcing them into dog fighting. It's disgusting and a heinous thing to do. It must be stopped. So join me in Knocking Out Dog Fighting."
Oscar was pure class in post fight interview with Manny. Wlad is very respectful too, where Vitali seems more sinister.
Both Roman Karmazin and Dmitry Kirillov are gentlemen in the ring. Manny Pacquiao is a uniqely polite and nice fighter in comparison to his level of skill. Gerry Penalosa looks like a class act too.
I'm not sure that manages to push him into the "gentleman" category. Remember, he will **** you til you love him, too...
Can't believe Kostya Tszyu hasn't been mentioned yet ... even though he would have had every right to complain about the Hatton fight he was nothing but class about it. A very respectful man that i rarely seen disrespect anyone.
Librado Andrade and Mikkel Kessler, Andrades brother Enrique Orneleas seems like a really nice guy too!
Actually i believe Tyson was more nice than the media turned him out to be! "The baddest man on the planet" was more like a PR stunt to make him look more feared, and sell more tickets! He was quite emotionel, and sometimes had a hard time handle those emotions.. But that doesn`t make him a mean mofo! i think he was a nice person deep inside
