      Voted Kessler, never seen a foul or anything against the rules with him. He's always been classy towards any comers. He is a warrior like in the old days, respect and honor.

        Your list seems to be limited. I was expecting to have some more choices, but alas iys you who created the poll so my guess is the omissions were not accidental.

            On that list, Kessler for sure.

            Don't know why Wladimir is on the list, he's not a gentleman.

                  Valuev is retired and hence not in boxing today.

                    Ricky Burns is probably as "nice" as boxers get, he seems the type to bake you some scones leading up to the bout. Mikkel Kessler is also a good choice as are Gennady Golovkin and Ruslan Provodnikov.

                    I'm afraid Wladimir Klitschko throwing poor Alexander around the ring claiming knockdowns was far from gentlemanly, nor is mean-mugging and attempting to intimidate his brother's opponents pre-fight.
