    charisma [kəˈrɪzmə], charism [ˈkærɪzəm]n
    1.
    a special personal quality or power of an individual making him capable of influencing or inspiring large numbers of people
    2. a quality inherent in a thing which inspires great enthusiasm and devotion


    Prince Naseem Hamed was definitely the above. Whether you loved him or hated him, he had charisma outside, and in the ring.

    The K brothers have a huge following in Germany, they've got millions of fans. That makes them charismatic? They've got as much charisma as a wet blanket.

    You're clearly not understanding the word charisma. I would say both brothers (especially Wlad) are charismatic.

    I like Chisora ok (well I did prior to the slapping-incident and learning about his assault on his gf), but no: Haye and Hamed (neither of whom I particularly love) have/had more charisma.

    I wouldn't say they are very charismatic, but they aren't void of it either. If you happen to understand german, they have an understanded sense of humor that doesn't always translate into English. Neither are charisma-powerhouses like Ali or Leonard, but not boring either. The biggest problem with the brothers have always been that they are in too few competitive fights and aren't dynamic on their own - that's just as much due to the weakness of the division though.
