By Johnny Jobbler Character is the springboard for success in boxing. Every great boxer down the years has had great character and charisma. From Sugar Ray Robinson to Floyd Mayweather, Muhammad Ali to Roy Jones Jr all have had bundles of charisma to match their abundant pool of talent.
Even the average boxers with charisma seem to do well for themselves. Paulie Malignaggi is a great example. Although being a cut below top class, Malignaggi has consistently found himself launched into big fight after big fight. Ricky Hatton, Amir Khan, Miguel Cotto are all household names who have shared a ring with “the magician”.
