    What are the best Examples of this ....


    I think James Toney matches this perfectly, inside the ring the guy is very smart and straight up can box beautifully. Outside the ring.... well, anyone who knows James Toney knows what I am talking about...

    First thing that came to mind. A lot of other boxers fit into this category as well.

    Lennox Lewis. The dude was promoted in America as fancy, intelligent and high class. On HBO he was a dope.
