Jonathan Papelbon is loud, crazy and will let you know when he strikes you out. You love the guy when he's on your team because he's usually money, but if he records a save against your favorite team, you just want to punch the guy in the face.

Talking trash to the Rice Owls in the first game of the season was reason enough to land him on this list, but the fact that he embraces the fact that he's immature is a bit cocky in itself. His "money" celebrations were just a slap in the face of the NCAA who let him off easy for his autograph scandal.

13. Randy Moss

While Moss is one year removed from the sport, he is still a phenomenal athlete and needs to be included on this list. When reporters asked him about one of his many fines that cost him $10,000 he said, Ain't nothing but 10 grand. What's 10 grand to me?" Yeah, that's pretty cocky.

12. Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson

Before a big fight, Rampage Jackson called out one of his opponents saying, "When I beat Wanderlei I’m a take his belt, pull his pants down and spank him for being so ugly." Well it seems like he thinks pretty highly of himself -- and this is a watered-down quote of his.

11. DeSean Jackson

Besides his annoying celebrations before he even gets into the endzone or getting in opponents' faces after a catch, the fact that he said that he is a top-five wide receiver in the NFL before the season is a bit of a stretch prior to the 2013 season.

Everyone will remember Yasiel Puig for helping with the resurgence of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2013, but how could we forget the bat flip he had prior to a triple he hit in the 2013 postseason? How about the fact that he sometimes doesn't try because he knows just how talented he is. Call it miscommunication of cultures, but I call it pure cockiness.

9. Cristiano Ronaldo

Scott Rovak-USA TODAY Sports

He is regarded as the best soccer player in the world -- by himself -- but has to be one of the softest players out there. Although he is supremely talented, it's hard to say he's not cocky for being a soft player.

8. Terrell Owens

Doing sit ups and working out in his driveway while reporters are interviewing him just exceeds cocky and becomes an entirely new level. Who is more into themselves than T.O.? Not many people.

7. Richard Sherman

Probably the biggest trash talker in the NFL, Richard Sherman isn't afraid to call out his doubters. He knows that he's good, and sometimes that's not a good thing.

6. Marshall Henderson

Just watching this kid celebrate after every made three-pointer makes you want to punch a wall. Henderson is the cockiest athlete in college basketball and it's not even close. He is known to disrespect opposing fans and get into the faces of opponents, letting them know that that he can play basketball better than them.

5. Cam Newton

Cam Newton has been cocky since his national title victory in 2010. However, it was his "me-first" attitude in his first Pro Bowl turned a lot of fellow players off and they consider him too cocky for his own good. He can back it up, however.

4. LeBron James

Watching him win award after award must be pretty humbling to LeBron James -- especially when he's accepting awards from some of the biggest NBA legends of all time. However, that is far from the case. Check out what I'm talking about below.

I don't think there's any argument with this one. Usain Bolt runs, he wins and he celebrates. Enough said.

2. Chael Sonnen

Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports

Listening to this guy talk just makes your head hurt. He thinks more highly of himself than anyone in professional sports -- easily. He can talk so much trash and then not back it up and no one will ever know. He talks more trash about Anderson Silva than anyone should talk about a person.

Floyd Maywather -- the self-proclaimed "Money" Mayweather -- has money, he flaunts it and by gosh you will know it. Floyd will never pass up an opportunity to talk trash to opponents and rub his riches in everyone's face.
