Who is the most well liked fighter in history?

[DarkTerror88]

And I don't mean who has the most nuthuggers. I mean someone who is liked by most/everyone, and you would be hard pressed to find someone who disliked them.

Alexis Arguello

Gatti, and Ward

...Joe Louis...

Ill go for Archie Moore. Very likeable guy, spoke like a scholar, you never would have guessed he was a boxer if you didnt know who he was. Very funny guy too, always had a running joke about how no one knew how old he was.

a few snippets of Moore in media at the time:





Moore was a really great guy.

Joe Louis and Arguello both meet all standards.

Alexis Arguello

Excellent choice.

I don't see how you can dislike Alexis in any way, shape or form. He is one of the most exicting fighters that ever lived, and a true gentleman outside the ring.

Sam Langford was also well liked and respected.
