Professional boxers beat people up for a living. But some of them are among the nicest people you’ll ever meet. Alex Stewart, who died on November 16 at the much-too-young age of 52, was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Stewart was born in England on June 28, 1964.
Later, we decided to stop by a nearby hotel where we heard the fighters and ESPN crew was staying. We met Edner Cherry (ridiculously nice), the Peterson brothers (Anthony was extremely friendly and talked about how he might get a shot at Linares - this was July 2015) and Teddy Atlas/Joe Tessitore.

Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez is a model citizen, let alone the golden standard of how a boxer can be a true sportsman. Not unlike his mentor, Alexis Arguello, Gonzalez is all business in the ring, and all compassion when he leaves the ring. The flyweight world champion has been the best fighter in his era, but never once demeaned, belittled, or sho...
Guerrero might have been one of the most successful fighters from Northern California, but the way he treated people never changed. A humble person, who never lost perspective on being the person who is. No matter what was thrown at Guerrero, he was an honorable guy, from the way he did business to the way he treated the media. Guerrero was a fan f...
The most likable young fighter in the sport of boxing, because not just do you see a child-like joy with him, when he enters the ring – he says the right things and means what he says. In a world in which bad influences are just a phone swipe away, Zayas is an old school fighter, who at a young age has taken on the role of a role model, a mature st...
Roman sacrificed a lot of his life for his boxing dream. Despite a loss or two early in his career, he was not rattled, and now he is fighting Stephen Fulton once again for a world title as the former unified 122 lbs champion is not just a champion inside the ring, but outside. Roman is one of the rare interviews in the sport, few if any video pack...
As sincere a boxer as I have ever met. Valdez means what he says, but doesn’t dumb things down or put emotion into his words to say it. Valdez might get knocked by fans on his historical greatness because he doesn’t behave like a moron, something sadly I think gets rewarded in this day and age. Valdez is a from the cloth of treating the sport with ...
If you didn’t know Andrew and Jason Moloney were boxers you’d assume they were Fortune 500 company executives, because of their amazing people skills. You won’t meet two fighters as geninue and kind in nature, which shows you don’t have to behave like a tough 24-hours out of the day to be a true tough guy. The more you interact with the Moloney bro...
A true fan of the sport, who is willing to interact with any-and-all fans, those who love what he does. Prograis is one of the best fighters at 140 lbs., but he is also one of the most well-adjusted people in the sport, as his success and great career have not made him lose sight of the man he is. At each and every fight, Prograis attends the theme...
“The Tower Inferno” Fundora was raised with a family of fighters as his sister also boxes and his father is his coach. So it is no wonder whenever he fights or has media obligations you are looking at someone who brings a strong family dynamic with him, as well as a lot of pure joy similar to Xander Zayas.
The most lovable U.K. fighter in some time, Frazer Clarke, is the common man living a boxing dream as he competed for years for an Olympic spot and won a bronze medal at the 2020 games. Clarke lives his emotions in real-time, not sugarcoating them and it is so refreshing to see a vulnerable human public figure, especially in the heavyweight divisio...
The 154 lbs Jesus Ramos Jr. is a fighter I have been high on, in fact, he was my 2021 Prospect of the Year. Ramos Jr. is a business-minded fighter who has a great YouTube channel, but beyond that is very interactive with his fans both in-person and online. Ramos Jr., the nephew of Abel Ramos, a pro fighter, has grown up in the fight game, trains ha...
New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Shawn Porter. One of the most likeable figures in boxing. Easily one of the most nicest boxer right now, and i like listening to him commentating and his talks, except ofcourse the weird suits. I love the weird suits.
Mannix and Coppinger carry the most comparable influence in the world of boxing. Because of the boxing’s more segmented structure, Coppinger’s intel cannot be as all-encompassing as Charania, Wojnarowski, or Schefter. Still, Coppinger remains among the most trusted reporters in his space.
Mario Veit was unranked prior to two title challenges of Calzaghe but would crack the top ten briefly in 2007.
