    Personally i think that characters are what make boxing. You need heroes, villains, role models, trash talkers to make everything that much more exciting.

    Off the top of my head here are 5 that i think are particularly good:

    1. The Mayweathers
    2. Bernard Hopkins
    3. Pacquiao
    4. Ricardo Mayorga
    5. Carl Froch
    I wish i could go into more detail about why i find these particular people to be compelling characters but i don't have time. I would love to hear other peoples opinions though. So please post away

    Nazeem Hamed, Tyson, Bruno, Don King, Ali

    Currently Haye is ruffling a few feathers round these parts...

    Mike Tyson, his honesty is striking and hilarious "I want to eat his children/I broke my back"

    Duran, the Robin hood of boxing

    Ali, great charisma

    Toney/Mayorga, trash talking at it's finest

    Larry Merchant #1

    Ivan Drago #2

    Gatti #3

    Ali #4

    Floyd Mayweather Sr. #5 (just cause he makes me feel so good about myself)

    Cash Flow #6 (8 year old prodigy)

    If this is supposed to be current fighters, I love watching Gamboa fight (not talk). When is he planning to fight again anyway?

    Carl Froch's loud ass wife deserves to be on the list more than he does.
