    Boxers should be thought money management and to think ahead with their finances regarding spening and leeches.

    Also a boxing pension where a percentage of your purse goes would be a good way for them to protect themselves from financial ruin due to poor decision making years later.

    I'm not a person very good at compartmentalizing an athlete in the sport vs their behavior outside the ring so I don't like the guys who beat up their wives and gfs, who say **** that offends me or who screw over their team, families and friends to get ahead. So I don't care for guys like Floyd and gatti and Valero and billy Joe saunders.

    In terms of in the ring, I don't care for fighters who have low punch outputs and fight spoiler styles where you can tell they're tallying the points in their head and doing just enough to edge rounds. I know it's smart, I know it's within the rules of the sport, but it's boring and I hate it.

    A couple others have already said it well, but Muhammad Ali, hands down. Very powerful personality, able to con the world into believing that he was a humanitarian, given the edge by refs, judges, and promoters.

    Actually, none of the boxers are likable. They beat and hurt people to get rich and famous.

    Fury is becoming very tiresome.

    I don't mind Teo too much but, just like Danny Garcia's dad, Lopez' father makes it more difficult to like the fighter.

    Unfortunately there is a lot of meglomaniacal pro boxers nowadays. Of course, I still respect their talent and bravery. Honestly though, many of them, if I saw them across the street, I would just keep walking. Fighters from bygone eras, I would have been proud to walk over to them and shake their hands.

    5 years ago would be Wilder, but he redeemed himself in taking 3 beatings by Fury.

    Gervontay Davis has to take his place now.

    Similar reasons; he is both stupid and idiotic at the same time.

    Also highly overrated and avoids meaningful competition.

    All Black fighters? What about Ryan Garcia, Andy Ruiz, and Jake Paul?

    p.s. I agree with you on Haney.

    Angel wears his love for Danny on his sleeve. Meanwhile, Teo seems nothing more than his dad's meal ticket.

    Very good point.
