With all the swelling anticipation of a big boxing year to come and all the testosterone swirling in the air around the boxing community I felt it was time for the Boxing Diva and avid boxing watcher to enlighten my fellow boxing fans with the unequivocal knowledge of boxing's hotness. I know it's a hard job but someone has to do it. ( Smiles)

Yes, that's right, boxing. Boxing, aka fisticuffs with it's swollen eyes, broken noses, bloody cuts, and swollen lips has never been considered a 'pretty sport with beautiful people' be that as it may. Yet, within it's ranks you will find some of the most handsome, well-built, talented, good-hearted and yummy men in all of sports.

It's my pleasure to uncover the Adonis's who excitingly weave, punch, shuffle and jab in the squared circle. Move over baseball, basketball, soccer, hockey and football...boxing is definitely a sport of 'hotness' and these boxers are much more than just a pretty face- they have the power to 'knock you out' in every sense of the word.

The 10 Most Handsome Men In Professional Boxing

Number 10 Floyd Mayweather Jr They don't call him pretty for nothing.

Number 9 Thomas Ulrich Incredibly handsome

Number 8 Miguel Cotto Ultimate essence of good looks and brains handsome

Number 7 Jermain Taylor Sweet, creamy and caramel all over handsome

Number 6 Andy Lee Blossomed into a hunk handsome

Number 5 David Haye Hot chocolate handsome

Number 4 Paulie Malignaggi Oh-so-handsome

Number 3 Bobby Gunn Baby blue eyed hard nosed hunk

Number 2 Oscar de La Hoya Major concentration of hotness

And the Most Handsome Man in Professional Boxing Today Is......

Number 1 John Duddy Knock out handsome...super hunky....and drop dead gorgeous pick me
up off the floor handsome.

Honorable mention:

Joe Calzaghe Knock down handsome

Enzo Maccarinelli Oo la la handsome

Sultan Ibragimov Ruggedly handsome

Evander Holyfield Tall, dark and handsome


One must remember, that boxing is a sport like all others and it is wise for these quietly handsome men to make use of whatever is available to them (including good looks) so they can increase their fan base, receive more publicity shots, and appear in numerous interviews in the media as a way to promote their assets as well as to keep boxing strong.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone has their own ideas on what qualifies a man for this list but in the end everyone wins. We can happily agree to disagree and that is the beauty of it all.
