    Not their personality (or why not), but their professionality, always showing up. Porter comes to mind or Postol: never great but always very good. Neither's on my fan list but I respect and admire both.

    Speaking of Porter, Danny Garcia comes to mind.
    Can´t stand him and I have serious disdain for his dad, but the kid is always 100% ready.
    No excuses.

    Chisora. Fights anyone and fears no one. Lots of losses but cannot ever say he ducks anyone.

    Bigger heart than most. Also sets a fine line for those who could make it and those who cannot.

    He's better than average, but not quite good enough to make the top 10.

    I think he's a good servant to heavyweight boxing.

    I don't like Roberto Duran, but he is one of the most complete fighters I have ever seen

    Best comment. I can't stand Duran, but I feel the same way.

    Porter as in Shawn Porter? Yeah, that's a very good pick, always in shape and rarely beaten clean - not that he's robbed, just that he's almost always there or thereabouts.
