    Ricky Hatton always comes across as such a down to earth fella the kinda of lad you would love to have a pint with

    Wladimir Klitschko, one of the classiest guys in boxing sold his Gold medal to raise mony for charity

    Manny Steward always spoke with such boxing knowledge and always showed respect to every fighter regardless of weather they where his fighter or not

    Eddie Hearn easily the most likeable promoter in boxing seems the most honest promoter

    Barry Mcguigan a total gent

    Kostya Tszyu purely for the class he showed after defeat to Hatton

    Miguel Cotto respects all opponents

    Frank Bruno who doesnt like Bruno nice guy and very funny

    Jim Rock the guy donated a lot of his purses to charity and always came across as a real nice bloke

    Austin Trout.

    Seems a pretty decent guy and was pretty forthcoming about his defeat to Canelo which I thought was classy.

    Lucas Matthysse. Humble, down to earth guy who's a monster in the ring. Lives by himself in a log cabin and goes hunting and fishing with his mates in his spare time.

    Rush Boxing club and Rush Martial Arts head coach.

    does he even need a gun when he goes hunting i wonder?

    You would imagine matthysse need only punch whatever to kill it reckon he would KO a bear also i would add Sergio Martinez does a hell of a lot of charity outside the ring

    Frank Bruno is some man. Went to see an evening with Ricky Hatton years ago in the Olympia and Frank came on first and he stole the show.

    His laugh was so contagious and he came across as a really nice guy.

    Richie Burns still works in a sports shop at the weekend. Just shows how down to earth he is

    Andy lee seems a nice guy and Macklin too. Mcguigan is a complete gent.

    Mosley - no trash talk or machoism

    Manny Stewart was just great !

    Geo Foreman is another great character.

    Naz Richardson - wise beyond his time

    Also a big fan of Teddy Atlas - although he is very hot tempered
