    Holyfield--His religious banter is nauseating. And very simple minded on top of that. Sorry dude, your "god" did not want you to win.

    Lewis--You can tell he is trying to sound cocky and interesting, but the keyword is "trying". You can tell it isn't genuine.

    I think Juan Manueal Marquez is a nice enough guy, and a hell of a fighter. But what does it say about a fighter's personality if the most distinctive part of it was a training regimen that involved drinking urine?

    At least JMM will be remembered for something, D. Aside from BoxRec, Pender won't exist, almost as invisible as when he was middleweight champ.

    Floyd Mayweather, Jr., Hector Camacho, Oscar de la Hoya... all contrived superstar bull**** with zero personality.

    Add to that the 10,000 nameless Ali-clones with shitty verse and worse footwork.

    Lewis was alright in a reserved way. Played chess, loved his mum, called out "Riddiculous" Bowe. Quietly backed up his stance (almost always) against more boisterous foes. Not exactly setting the world on fire, but I thought he carried himself well enough.

    Nah, i think Mayweather built himself up with his personality, and Camacho (at least before Rosario) seemed like a pretty colorful guy. I agree about Oscar though.

    You are so wrong about Camacho that guy is one trippy dude and quite a charachter. Not made up at all.

    I can see where your coming from with Floyd(fake persona) and Oscar(says what he thinks you wanna here).

    I don't think Lewis is a fair one. Next to Holyfield he seems like Chris Eubank

    Floyd isn't a fair one either, he always has a lot to say

    I interviewed Camacho and if being a douche-nozzle constitutes having a personality, you are correct.

    He's a blow hard idiot who plays a tired cliche of a superstar. Wake me up when the world grows beyond this kinda crap.

    Well if being a Douche constitutes NOT having a personality.

    Well then Pernell Whittaker wins this hands down, that guy was an *******.:verysad
