Who would you say are the nicest boxer's you've encountered in british boxing? I mean their personalities don't really go with punching people in the head for a living! David Price is one that stands out to me! I know there's a lot more people in the know with boxers personally than me so who else would you put on the list?

Ogogo seems nice.

Yeah i'd go along with that!

Friends say Richie Woodhall is a nice bloke.

Both Quigg and Frampton seem like very nice fella's aswell actually.

Crolla?

Burns

Curtis Woodhouse, He isnt to nice and hes not a prick, He just seems like a normal lad

Met Burns and hes really nice guy, Always takes time to speak. Really like Paul Appleby. Always joking about

I couldn't single anybody out. If I'm honest the list of nice boxers would be many, many times longer than the list of ones who aren't.

I was just thinking that actually! It's a good thing to see in a sport like boxing aswell.

Ricky Burns by a long way, has time for everyone and he likes a chat. Never take Ronnie through training/sparring going to be there all day both love a chat ha. Most boxers I have met tend to be nice people don't think I've met too many idiots

most guys in boxing are nice guys Ritchy W Brian rose Jamie moore all really nice guys, but who stands out for me as the nicest most giving guy iv met in boxing has got too be Kerry Kayes really humble giving man

Enzo Mac

when i was a kid i was at sir phillips games club and bruno and duke mckenzie were there (not sure if duke boxed out of there or just trained sometimes) and both were nice guys .bruno came round our house a few times and seeing frank look at a bowl of irish stew that my mum gave him was priceless.

Haha quality little anecdote there mate

i met rocky kelly a couple of months back at a show no one knew who he was and i got talking to him and what a nice bloke he was ,he was surprised i remembered him and just seemed really happy that someone remembered him .
he still trains and looked as fit as he did when fighting .

John Conteh
Glenn McCrory
Ryan Rhodes
Herol Graham

They were all very happy to stop and chat. Tim Witherspoon was cool as well. He seemed stunned that I knew so much about him (I look like the sort of chap who if I joined a weight training class they'd start me on balloons).

i met tim witherspoon while he was at a show doing an exhibition 3 months ago ,he was the coolest guy i think i have met in a long time we had a few drinks together told a few jokes and after he asked if i wanted to go to the after show party which was me and tim going to a lap dancing club ,but i was with my mrs so i had to decline ....... i doubt very much if i ever get the chance to go a strip club with a former 2 time heavy weight champ ever again

Jamie moore is a sound lad just like chatting to your mate in the boozer, although met Steve foster snr and I thought he was a dick, that was a few years back but seen him last game of season united v Swansea he was being a prick then

Totally biased but you'll not meet nicer boxing people than Rhodes Nelson and Graham.

Never met Nelson, but I bet you're right. I saw him getting his hair cut once but decided I'd look a creepy bastard if I went in to chat.

I was right.

I think the Ifilm london interviews in particular really show Nelson in a great light. Seems a great laugh to be around!

Kerry Hope is a nice guy. Most boxers I have met are though none have thought they were big time.
