    Nicest:

    Shane Mosley (always classy)
    Winky Wright (very outgoing and friendly individual)
    Glen Johnson (gentleman)

    Also guys like Mayweather and Mayorga who appear to be true dickheads on camera, I actually don't think they're as bad as people believe.

    Worst personalites:

    Bernard Hopkins - Refused to sign boxing gloves for a Ring Magazine charity for cancer because the Ring recognized Taylor as the middleweight champion following their first fight. An absolute scumbag from what I hear

    Fernando Vargas - Alleged involvement with crime and gangs, seems to me like an arrogant guy who's always full of himself

    Anyone else?

    Vernon Forrest has always been a class act, he had that foundation for those mentally ******ed adults, and used to bring them to his fights.

    I agree.

    The Klitschkos seem like very decent people as well.

    Nice guys:
    Shane Mosley realy seems careing and down to earth and very friendly
    Wladimir Klitschko i think is a very good guy outside the ring
    Roy Jones is prolly a good guy outside
    Floyd Mayweather when the cameras aren't around
    Valuev is probably a realy good hearted guy

    Bad guys:

    Something tells me that behind that sweet smile and teddy bear of a man George Foreman realy lies a snake:huh dunno why but it just seems like that for me.:nut

    Mayorga is probably a *******

    Judah is a gangsta

    I've heard quite a few stories about Foreman being like that.

    I disagree with the B-Hop comment.

    His daughter and my son are in the same school. I didn't think he would carry a conversation with me - but he did. He's a very nice guy - just very talkative. He always has something to say - regardless to what the conversations about.

    I'm in agreement that Shane Mosley is one of the nicest guys in the sport - inside and outside of the ring.

    I guess there's always two sides to the story.

    But I also heard from people of incidents of fans asking Hopkins for an autograph, and he would charge them $20 for signing their item. But the whole charity for cancer story is what led me to make my initial claim.

    Paulie is a nice person outside of the ring but to the media and people who don't know him he's sound like a bad personality. Shane Mosley is the nicest person inside and outside the ring in boxing.
