    Ricky Burns is such a nice guy. He's more of a schoolboy than a gentleman though.

    You know who deserves a mention? Danny Garcia.

      Good list TS, out of who is there I'd pick Pacquiao and Wladimir.

        Wlad actually had some legit knock downs vs Povetkin. And the pre-fight thing should not be considered too much in this connection, both brothers are always civil when supporting each other ring side, etc. No antics.

        Wladimir is certainly a gentleman and always repectful towards his opponent, there shouldn't be any denying that.

          Everybody on that list deserves the votes they might get. Nothing but good things to say about those guys when it comes to the G Factor.

            Throwing around your opponents, leaning on them in the ring, discrediting other people's victory over you and intimidating another man's opponent is gentlemanly? I know you like the guy, but that doesn't mean he has to get a gentleman's vote.

            He's mostly a decent guy, but he's not a top gentleman like some others are.
