    I get the impression Usyk is quite a card.

    Hector Camacho deserves a mention for bringing sexy back!

    Every now and then again someone brings up him and his antics and it makes my day.

    "You're white. Help me!" - To the referee during his fight against Larry Holmes
    • "I wasn't talking to Holmes in there. Every time I felt like saying something to him I found it hard because he kept putting his left hand in my mouth."
    • "I don't think his hands could take the abuse." - On a possible rematch with Holmes

    I post this any time somebody mentions Cobb. WARNING: It's a comedy roast and the language is pretty rough, deal with it.

    David Higgins. The guy is on another planet. I can't wait for Joshua v Parker to flush out more oddball behavior

    Usyk is a huge character, it's a shame he hasn't learned English yet.

    If you ask Miguel Cotto if he thinks Miguel Cotto is a character, Miguel Cotto will tell you that Miguel Cotto is a character.

    Did yuu know that at the final bell of the Holmes fight Yex tirned tp ref Sreve Crosson & asked for 3 more rounds. He said " Larry cant hit me no more his hands are busted up I can knock him out" I thought ir was a Tex joke but Steve verified he had said it & he meant it too

    Vincenzo Nardiello

    Im not sure if he spoke English but he would act like a clown in some fights to confuse and frustrate

    He fought Nigel Benn Richie Woodhall Robin Reid and Sugar boy Malinga
    I remember he had alsorts of antics up his sleave

    The last thing I read about him was about 15 or 20 years ago and he was attached by a pit bull while training in a forest So I do hope he is alright now

    Enzo Calzage was a proper Character

    A lot of guys like to think Margarito cheated because it discredits him. Others think he cheated but wish he hadn't, for the sake of the sport's (ahem) good reputation. You know he didn't cheat, but wish he did because you dig the western all'italiana baddie schtick. :lol:
