Boxing has a rich history of colorful characters and dominant personalities. Some of them forged the frame on which today’s players build their careers while others exited the stage, forgotten once their scene was done.
Love them, hate them or begrudgingly tolerate their existence, there is a generation of them who walk among us today.
Consider them the shudder down your spine after a shot of tequila, the burning on your tongue after a bowl of hot chili or in some cases the aftermath of an authentic Mexican dinner.
They may be gifted fighters, talented entertainers or both and the list certainly changes from month to month or week to week.
They are the heartburn that follows your favorite meal so grab some TUMS and dig in to a steaming plate of fighters that are pissing fans off.
