    As Mac wrote, for me personally:
    Sugar Ray Leonard
    Vinny Pazienza
    Naseem Hamed
    Wilfredo Gomez
    Floyd Mayweather Jr
    Greg Haugen
    Their personalities just irked the hell out of me.

    Probably the guy in my avatar..Monzon. Generally a cold, arrogant, aloof type of guy.

    Ali could be a *****, and was during most of his career, but for some reason, for me anyway, he became more likeable in the late 70's.

    Holmes. All he had to do is lighten up and let his prowess in the ring speak for itself. Instead he came across as if he had a chip on his shoulder. Angry and hard to approach.

    I'm starting to think Kovalev needs to mellow out.

    I've met him many times. Always nice. However his demeanor privately is meaningless. Public perception is built via the media and Larry seemed to always present himself in the worst possible manner.

    I've never understood Ali's popularity. A textbook narcissist, he was.

    Vinny Paz always seemed a *****.

    I'm a Duran fan, but hard pressed to call him a nice guy.

    Leonard was smug and arrogant as hell, until he got older. His autobiography was quite humble though, and he redeemed himself to me a bit.

    Tyson redeemed himself later in life, too.
