    One of the nicest people I ever met in any walk of life was Leo Randolph. Genuinely kind man. Great guy.

    Donaire and tha Klitschkos seem nice guys.


    Any accounts on Duran? Despite sounding prideful, sometimes coming as condesceding, arrogant ***** he doesn't seem as a bad person but I haven't read his autobiography yet (which means nothing since obv it could be very biased too.) Same about Lewis, in some post-fights interviews he puts that tough guy persona on that makes me smile.
    Also despite their turbolent past, by now, both Leonard and Tyson seem somewhat reformed. Someone really wrote Tyson got that "God of War" redemption aaah arc lmao

    Winky Wright is renown for being an extremely nice guy to everyone (fans, foes, etc)

    I've never met him but Carlos Palomino always seemed like such a classy guy, both when he was champ and later after retirement. I enjoy watching his more recent interviews and he always comes across as modest and intelligent. Anybody have any first hand experiences with him?
