    Joe Louis
    Floyd Patterson
    Tommy Hearns
    Alexis Arguello
    Ray Mancini
    Evander Holyfield
    Rocky Marciano

    Surprised no one mentioned Manny Pacquiao. Andre Ward and Sergio Martinez also comes across as very likeable.

    OK some would call that Humble, but as much as I repsect Duran as a boxer (the third best fighter ever IMO), others would call that stupid and naive...

    Gerrie Coetzee

    Don King once said that Coetzee was the only boxer to ever 'thank him' for allowing him to fight for a world title.
