Which person in boxing causes the most controversy and why?

[Replies: 10]
There are controversial refereeing decisions, controversial characters such as Don King, and just lots of controversy in general. Who do you think tops the list?

Tyson still manages to get his name in the news a few times a year. Latest word was he ordered a hit on someone. Mayweather is just a loud mouth-trying to be Ali, but he will never be remembered with as much admiration and affection by the fans. Most people I know just watch his fights hoping he will get knocked out-just like Prince naseem about 10 years ago. Bernard had his moments with the flag, the throat slash, and the white boy comments too.

I guess we can call Floyd, the first diva of boxing, now.

Yes it has to be Floyd Mayweather. His latest comments on the HBO team have stirred the pot, and one gets the underlying feeling they were intended to have that effect. He keeps his name in the press so that he will not be forgotten or diminished, especially in the wake of such a dominating performance by his heir apparent, Manny Pacquiao. I really don't understand how Floyd will become a billionaire by year's end, unless perhaps Mark Cuban is giving it to him. Even though he says he's finished with boxing, he seems to be maintaining a presence ready to step back in whenever he fancies, or in the event that a 100 million purse should offered. :-p

Did you even have to ask that question Steve.
Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather without a doubt.
And,If you don't belive me the posts speak for their self.
As well as the articles in the Media
I belive if we can't all agree he was the P4P king we can all
without a doubt agree he is the King of Controversy.

Poll
What about the ring side girls??
Since 1990's I remember HBO used to minimize the screen to show the corner and fighter while the beautiful models reminded us of what round it was. How many of you guys like to be reminded again?
