    Joe Louis used to walk through his streets and give money to anyone who asked. I understand that he was a very friendly guy.

    If you caught him at the right time and place, Sonny Liston could be the nicest guy you ever met.

    But he was also a goon for the mob.

    Old Foreman still had somewhat of a reputation of the Jekkyl-and-Hyde persona when the cameras were off. He often looked like he wanted to destroy his opponent, but sometimes was nice in there and eased up and wanted the ref to stop it (Ellis fight).

    Young Tyson still talked trash, just not as much.

    "I wanted to push his nose into his brain"- Ferguson fight, 1986

    "He was crying like a woman"- Biggs fights, 1987

    "How dare these fellas challenge me with their primitive skills? They're just as good as dead"- Bruno fight, 1989

    SRL and LaMotta, also.

    Louis, with his mistress, well that apparently (I hope) was an isolated incident.
