    Anyone who doesnt have Randell "Tex" Cobb in the top 1 is sadly mistaken (tho his were more hilarious then meanspirited...noone gave better interviews).

    Others that deserve mention...

    Ali
    Tarver
    Toney
    Hopkins
    Mayorga
    Hamed

    All immediately jump to mind.

    I know he's not a fighter but Don King could talk a glass eye to sleep

    Miranda claims he's the best and that everybody's scared of him. Repeatedly. Hardly an inspired trash talker.

    Nas's interview after the Badillo fight when he gets Kevin Kelley involved is absolutely brilliant, however.

    Ali was legendary but his trash talk was not really all that trashy, it was more humorous and entertaining.

    The best at real nasty demeaning trash talk I´ve seen is James Toney. I loudly applauded his comments on John Ruiz after their fight ca. "Now Don King can toss him back into the garbage can where he belongs" - which was a classic - and ever so true. I´m sure Zakman couldn´t have put it better than that.

    Nastiest comment I remember was Hopkins saying Holmes would have been raped if he´d benn in prison like Hopkins himself, because he was such a wuss. I didn´t know whether to just find that hilarious or repulsive.

    Only Ali did it with style.
    The rest are "Blowfish" trying to make themselves look bigger.

    As much as I like Mayweather, he is a turd trash talker, some of that **** he was doing in the Hatton PC's was damn embarrasing, escpecially singing along to hatton wonderland sone not knowing the words, he had to resort to hand gestures at times, he isnt clever when he speaks just some ***** kid speak.

    I'd go for Hopkins, he really convinced me Kessler was a shitty boxer and in a league with the E fighters. :lol:

    Mayorga & Toney are the funniest

    Tyson was the craziest

    Ali just talked a whole lot of trash

    Floyd is just annoying but does talk a lot of trash also.

    I dont care what nobody says. When they interviewed James Toney about who he thought was going to win out of Tarver and Bhop that was ****ing hilarious. I mean it was like being at a comedy show...
