Is he a greedy person ? No, he is not.
Is he an asshole ? No, he is not.

Sapienti sat.

So cheating on your wife while being on cocaine and drunk is a good father and Husband?
Calling people f--aggots and using racist slang is charming?
I am a fan but I am not a fanboy. He gets away with this behavior simply because of his gift of gab and a charming story of loosing weight and making one hell of a comeback.
By definition Fury has been an asshole the majority of his life. And I have always backed him as a fighter. I have always been a fan. I'm just not going to suck the guy off like so many are doing now without questioning his past behavior.

you can be a charasmatic asshole

Yes that is true... There are a few posters on here who meet this criteria

Most on here bashed him for being a sexist, racist, blow hard for so long. And before the Klitschko fight he was called talentless and a cherry picking coward.
Now he is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Damn boxing fans are hot and cold. They go for the flavor of the month

Yeah, Fury kinda turned from the villain to the hero. However, his previous image wasn't dismissing for me, I've always rooted for him since Klitschko bout.

I've been a fan of his since the first time I saw him. I've defended him on this forum for years. And the people I've defended him are now his biggest nuthuggers. It is so funny to me

Remember this. Not too long ago, Lennox Lewis wasn't considered an ATG. He was pretty hated for the most part. And then, with time, people began to appreciate him for his accomplishments. I'm not comparing Fury to Lewis in the ring, but public perception. In the USA, we love a comeback story, and Fury had a cinderella comeback story.

But Lennox wasn't considered a great until retirement. Lennox was vilified 99% of his career.
Another fighter I loved from the beginning

Me too. LL was my favorite during and after his illustrious career!

I'll go with AB. He's really into it, that most (if not all) wants to see him lose. It's more of his outside of the ring activities and personality that he can't back up with skills. But when he did, we still want to see him lose.

Manny is not charismatic but more of his achievements made him popular. By the way I'm from Philippines.

Honorable mention will be Loma, Chocolatito, and Tyson Fury.
