Who have been the biggest clowns or “showboats” ever in boxing?
Here are a few that I can think of:
Ali
Emmanuel Augustus
Roy Jones Jr.
James “Lights Out” Toney
Sugar Ray Leonard
I am surprised :o how can you ever conceive that list and forget Naseem Hamed
Naseem Hamed & Cory Spinks.
Jorge Paez 
Jorge Paez was a clown, literally. He worked in the circus for awhile in his youth. As a fighter though he was no joke. He was a clean fighter who rarely clinched or fouled at all, and always showed class in defeat as well as victory. That goes to show you that just because a guy looks ridiculous before a fight that doesn’t mean that he will violate the rules or disrespect an opponent.
Clows
Clowns are different from showboaters.
Ali, SRL & Kid Gavilan were showboaters, but they had style, grace & panache.
Audley ‘Parcel Force’ Harrison is a clown.
He gives it the big chat, then has 1 or 2 fights year for 5 years, finally steps up in class, then reveals himself to be a spineless waster, with zero stamina; that’s what I call a clown. 
:baeh: :alcoholic:
clown/showboat/idiot/dumbass/ and lost all respect after going after a fifty year old man, instead actually fighting when he was supposed to
ZAB “Supa-stoopid” Judah
He used to blow kisses and touch up the Round card girls as well
The biggest clown is Don King.
The biggest showboat is was Naz.
Remember seeing this guy on an undercard and thinking ‘Jeez,he’s a bit of a clown!’ ;D

Mike “The Bounty” Hunter. He could fight a bit, too.
Ali, Leonard, Naz all showboaters.
Valuev and Toney and clowns as they can be a force in the heavyweight division when one is small and fat and the other is like big foot.
Yeah - Paez was a credit to the sport in his time. A decent honest pro.
Vinney Pazienza. ;D
“Two Ton” Tony Galento
in a good way - TAPIA and AUGUSTUS
Add Johnny Nelson to that list. A guy who refuses to fight! :dance:
Mayorga
Max Baer
+: Primo Carnera
