    Id say Carl Froch.
    Intelligent guy with balls of steel. And also a sense of humour in his banter with his opponents.

    as a general rule i tend to prefer a guy who uses sentences rather than grunts.

    its a rarity in the pugilistic community.

    Vitali klitschko is good guy. he is guy with I would go out and drink beer or two:good Is sense of humor is preeminent, no doubt.

    He is not kind of little ****er who talks **** before he enters into ring and then gets knocked the **** out..

    Fighters that test themselves by fighting the best.

    Not boxers that horde there title and fight bums, or claim they are the best by picking weaker fighters.

    Both examples of bad sportsmanship that you refer to are Vitali. He tried to kick at Lewis & he didn't want to accept the doctor/ref stoppage at the end of that fight.

    Role models are important to the future of this sport, the kids. Those were isolated incidents and I think you need to look at the fighters as a whole, not just their bad points. In VItali's defense Lewis kinda tripped/pushed him down & that would explain the kick.

    :good I didn't say the Klitschkos were perfect role models, just that they were good, especially Wladimir.

    I hate cocky OTT fighters like Mayweather before a fight. No need for it. If you want to watch all that bollocks you might as well go and watch Eastenders. It has nothing to do with boxing. The only satisfying thing about it is when one of these fighters gets utterly destroyed in the ring like Nassem Hamad against Barrera.

    Down to earth with a love for the sport is what I like to see. The Pavliks and the Pacquiaos.

    De La Hoya is a gentleman of the sport and has never disrespected anyone. I don't no how he managed to keep his cool when listening to Vargas, Mayorga and Mayweather trash talk.

    I'm ok with any personality but The brash, trash-talking type, the only way I root for those kinds of Boxers is if they back their talk up and fight the best (Haye) and not just talk **** then do vurtualy nothing to back it up (Mayweather).
