Fighters you believe had a phony good guy persona for the media but in reality .....

Evander Holyfield is not as bad as you seem to portray in the OP, but he was seen as the good guy after Tyson bit his ear when Holyfield keeps headbutting him. Holyfield should have gotten some of the blame. Holyfield is a master of headbutts, if he can't beat you on the inside he smashes your head with his iron head.

Every time this guy headbutts someone, it's ruled as accidental complete BS.

 

:deal

 

donaire acts like a good guy and he is always whining about how he was bullied and what not. yet he says "darchinyan is my punching *****" and gets personal. **** donaire.

 

Robert Guerrero

 

Lamont Peterson multiple time PED cheat

 

You're a bit off the mark, here.

Holmes is bitter about Foreman because Foreman blatantly ducked him for most of the 90s and never answered Holmes's offer to fight in the late 1970s (before Foreman left the sport).

Larry has many friends in boxing ranging from wild guys like Roberto Duran to calm guys like Gerry Cooney.

I've heard numerous stories of Foreman acting stuck up and overall not being a very friendly person away from the cameras, even now. I personally have not met him so I can't share my own experience, but from what I've heard, Foreman is way different off camera.

 

Marciano was not generous with cash in the sense that he'd just give it to you. He was generous in lending it, but it was to be paid back. If it wasn't paid back within the agreed timeframe without any notice, Marciano got pissed.

Marciano did indeed want to retire after the Vingo fiasco and also gave his condolences about Vingo's injuries to Carmine and to Carmine's family. He prayed in Church for days for Carmine to make a recovery. Ironically enough, I believe Carmine, the man who Rocky came very close to killing, is the last of the living Marciano oponents, too.

I know Marciano did go out of his way to attend events he was invited to and thought nothing of flying from the East Coast to the West Coast and back to the East Coast all within 3 days to attend events and help people out.

 

People who are saying Cotto are crazy.

Oscar De La Hoya to me seems like the biggest phony.

 

Saúl Álvarez.In front of the cameras the humble and even polite guy.With no cameras, beating flyweights and sending death threats(I don't know if the last is truth or only a rumor).

On the other hand Chávez jr. seems pretty authentic.In contrast, Sergio Martínez seems like a case of "look at me I am so humble, the humblest man in the world".


Paulie Malinaggi, people who have had contact with him described him as a complete *******, egomaniac harsh diva.

Broner seems to exagerate a lot and to be making sorta like-floyd persona.

 

honestly this spelling error has just made my sides split :yep:yep:yep

 

Guerrero will go on JesusTV one day and cap yo ***** ass the next.
Mayweather is a douche to young fighters and his women.
Holmes refuses to help young fighters in his hometown because he wants to be the only famous thing to come out of there.
Oscar did coke and dressed up like a woman. Coke does not make you dress up like a woman.
