    were there any? I know McClellan didn't have much of a personality besides the tough guy/thug image he had, but because of that he was a pretty decent draw during his time. Pacquiao is a boring person but he drew really well for reason.

    Discuss.

    I find most boxers to have boring personalities.

    I think it might have to do with where there from also.

    For example, I love JMM and he's my all time favorite boxer. But I wouldn't say he's the most exciting guy. Plus he has a whole country behind him and same with Canelo.

    Lennox, he was an interesting character but not particularly exciting, still drew well as champ.

    Probably made in excess of 200 mil and never flipped a table or smacked a fighter at a conference.

    Though I think he did shadowbox the cardboard cutout of Potvetkin when he was a no show for his IBF title shot.

    So key characteristics seem to be 1. Latino. 2. Black + British citizenship. 3. Fought a big draw (Holyfield v Tyson, Wlad v Haye, Pacquiao vs JMM, etc).
