    Ali and Duran were both nice guys when they wanted to be.

    Ali to this day will let strangers pretty much walk into his house and say hi. He's quite religious and enjoys helping people.

    Duran, fought De Jesus three times and later De Jesus spiraled downward shooting someone in a vehicle accident dispute and started doing drugs.

    While in jail he can down with AID's.

    They let him out of jail to die, and when Duran found out about it he went to Puerto Rico to visit De Jesus with his daughter. On Dejesus's death bed, he picked him up, (cause he only weighed about 80lbs) and gave him a kiss and he told his daughter to do the same. This was back the days when it was thought that even touching someone who was HIV positive could result in transmission.

    After that episode, Duran went from a villain in Puerto Rico to a hero. He also gave pretty much every penny he earned away.

    Foreman's also went from being an angry young man to a genuine nice guy, but earning 150M+ million can have that affect on a guy.

    Another nice guy is Chuvelo, he had four kids two of whom over died taking drugs and one who committed suicide, and his wife also committed suicide over the lost of these boys. So now he visits schools telling kids about the dangers of drug addiction.

    Kell Brook has been a total ***** every time I've met him.

    Johnny Neslon is a top bloke.

    He's also been stripped of his belt due to the fact that he has to go to the slammer. It's just unfortunate, what has become of JT:-(
    He used to be one of the most pleasant guys in boxing, now, he display aggresive/erratic behaviour after all those whallops to the head:-(
    I do hope he finds a bright light in his life after everything's said and done...

    Pacquiao and Gennady are so nice. It's crazy how they can be such monsters in the ring.

    Froch seems like a real jerk in his interviews. Guy just seems full of himself, honestly.

    I know Canelo is supposedly a huge a$$ and diva IRL. Rumors are that Cotto is too.

    Felix Trinidad is an extremely nice guy from what I've been told. Very fan friendly and signs autographs for everyone seeking one.

    I've met Jennings couple years back when he was an up and coming prospect. Very friendly and down to earth guy.
