    Najib Daho. Great little character.

    If Duran spoke English he'd be HUGE. He was the best fighter of the 70's and would've been as big as Ali, imo.

    Good shout on Darchinyan.

    Surprised no-one has said Roy Jones Junior yet. Some of his showboating in the ring was unbelievable.

    Thanks for contributing fella's, Any footage or interviews/quotes that show evidence of there characther. Battling Siki and Najib Daho interest me.

    Geoff Mcreesh grew up watching him, remember him smashing Scrap Iron Ryan to bits real early. Can't remember his characther though probably cos i was a kid back then.

    Honeyghan
    Naz
    Ali
    Toney
    Tapia

    In no particular order.

    GOAT would probably be Ali.

    One of my favourite characters in boxing has to be Jake LaMotta. i've watched so many videos (thanks to youtube) and even read the odd book (Yes I can read) about Jake LaMotta. he is the subject of the greatest boxing film ever made "Raging Bull" and in my opinion a true boxing legend.
