Re: The Most Charismatic Fighters To Date
Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard are pretty near the top of the list. Polarizing figures of course, but so is almost any charismatic fighter. Some people like talkers, some people don't. So you're always gonna have divided opinions on those guys.

Floyd Mayweather.
Re: The Most Charismatic Fighters Today
Has to be Tyson Fury. i enjoyed Kovalevs last after fight interview where he was bating Stevenson but Kovalev tends to be quietly menacing most of the time. Wilder and Briggs are worth a mention.
Carl Frampton also. Met him a couple of times and comes across really well on the TV also.
We don't have enough characters in the sport nowadays.

...I don't think being a trash talker qualifies you as charismatic person..the clowns certainly don't belong to this category...

AJ is likable if that's what we are going on .
Re: The Most Charismatic Fighters Today
I think Whyte is actually very charismatic when he's not trash talking.
He's just grey inoffensive sludge, designed not to lose fans, mostly spouting vague clichés, sometimes contradicting each other.stevedoc wrote:AJ is likable if that's what we are going on .
Yeah I'd put him more in the category of entertaining than charismatic. In terms of charisma, I'd say his main saving grace is how well he treats his fans.greg wrote:...I don't think being a trash talker qualifies you as charismatic person..the clowns certainly don't belong to this category...

Re: The Most Charismatic Fighters Today
Floyds charisma for me is in his skill set and of course his style. I'm more of a Pacman fan then Floyd but when you watch Floyds boxing it's very intelligent and fluent. His camp often denys and ridicules fight plans and when you watch his fights, it DOES seem that Floyd just adapts. You might hurt Floyd early but once he's got you on the end of a string he'll play you like a puppet.
Re: The Most Charismatic Fighters Today
It's a shortlist today, maybe Fury. Regarding Fury's latest "witticisms" may be because Klitschko's maternal grandmother is Jewish. Fury likes to get under the skin of his opponents. By the time I thought of this the thread was removed, perhaps wisely, but this thread gave me the opportunity to opine on that.

Shannon Briggs, David Haye.

People love knockout artists. A knockout artist gets people excited just by fighting and doing his thing.Chepppaaa wrote:gilgamesh wrote:Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard are pretty near the top of the list.

Re: The Most Charismatic Fighters Today
Deontay Wilder is pretty charismatic.
He's always going on about how handsome he is & calling out his peers etc.

I don't... Joshua, Golovkin, Kovalev, Spence, Lomachenko, Ortiz, Canelo, Haye, Usyk, Beterbiev, Russell and Easterbnovelist wrote:Floyd, Thurman, Fury, and Conor anyone else agree?
Floyd is a jerk. He wouldn't fight GGG at 154 and now he's talking crap about him saying he needs to move up in weight. Floyd needs to STFU. Thurman Is great but should cut his hair. Is he trying for a world record? Fury is talented but he's an ignoramus. He has to stop acting like he doesn't give a damn about anything and stay off of Anthony Joshua's case unless he fights him. Conor is fine but he should lose the beard.
