It’s bad enough when you come into the ring prancing and dancing, or wearing ridiculous costumes… making an a** out of yourself. But if you should happen to lose, welllllll… that makes it a whole lot worse and humiliating. Camacho and Naseem are the most outlandish entrances that come to mind. Anyone else?
Naseem just tried copying Eubank all the time.
Eubank’s entrance against Collins was cool, and we all know what followed ![]()
in recent times…marcus beyer v green I. beyer was introduced on stage by a rock band who played an entire song for him to dance to for 3 mins. he then got knocked down three times in two rounds.
coorleys crazy head gear… then beaten by cotto.
Appolo Creed entrance in Rocky 1 & 4 ![]()
the spinks concert before the judah rematch.
naz came in on a magic carpet
definetly apollo creed in rocky 4.
also that mask chop chop had on before the cotto fight was just plain scary.
I was going to mention both of them … the spinks one was funny as, I was so happy he got beat after all that shit infront of his own fans.
That thing chop chop had on his head was something you would see shitknot wearing.
Freaky as fuck …LOL ;D
You stole my answer “Boxer”. Spinks definitely takes the crown.
I would have to say Jorge “El Maromero” Paez, not only did he wear costumes. but would cut into his hair to put messages and sign’s on his hair, also shorts, boot’s anyplace he could find space.
*The famous batman sign on his head. For his first fight in Los Angeles, C.A he put “NO SMOG” we have huge smog problem here.
*The bride dress, The soldier clothes during desert storm war, President Clinton mask, EX-Mexican president Salinas de gortari, on and on and on… To his defense he comes from a circus family, I actually had the chance to see the circus as a little boy in Mexicali, B.C Mexico he was an acrobat hence his nick-name “MAROMERO” which translates to the “SOMERSAULT” which became his trademark to somersault after a fight. Now his age and all the thing’s that come with boxing for many years has taken it’s toll, if you don’t know who I’m talking about look for when he fought Oscar de la Hoya.
Not for nothing “TITOFAN”, Trinidad’s entrance vs. Hopkins seemed to take forever, with him stopping in the aisles to dance and sing. . . . . . . only to finally enter that ring and get his clock cleaned.
Oops… for some reason I KNEW that would come up.

Dude, your name is TITOFAN. What else did you expect?
But Tito was just being Tito… happy to be there, enjoying the moment and the adulation. Unfortunately, his script didn’t have a happy ending. In his defense (not that I’m partial or anything…
), his song and dance had less to do with arrogance and more to do with enjoying himself going into the ring. Whereas some of the other fighters that put on shows seem to do so out of arrogance and self-importance. (Did you buy it?)
I might agree with that…but one thing that really got me…was the whole Wright debacle.
Winky said before the fight: “I’m not that good @ stare downs, but I did’nt come to get into a staring contest, I came to win.”
Tito slammed his gloves down on Winky & that would be about the most significant blows he would land against Wright all night long. That did it for me.
After that…the greatest was the Spinks entrance show. Loved it…especially the end result. Nelly…you are the bomb. What a buncha fookin sell outs! Nelly for Christ’s sake!!! Fookin Nelly.
Shoulda got Common…or Wu-Tang…or atleast maybe Inspecta-Deck.
kahli mahmeen vs brewster
this wasn’t the worst but it was just long for no damn reason. kahli maheen was just walkin slow as hell.
Maybe he knew he was walkin into a set up?
I thought Vargas’ entrance against Tito was pretty outlandish (ie: stone blocks, fire coming out of ground, Aztec warriors, badass pouting mouth, almost spitting water on Tito’s face on faceoff). The exit was DEFINITELY different from the entrance.
Tommy Morrison, after partying all night, He comes to ring with the music “Bad to the Bone”, and then gets TKO in the first… Man that sucked… My jaw dropped man.
Spinks this Spinks that, he came out with a multi-platinum rap artist and was dancing the 1st fight with Judah. In addition to every other fight he’s fought professionally. If you want to bad mouth nelly that’s fine by me.
Everyone who knows boxing should’ve known spinks was going to lose that fight Judah had to much on the line, to much at stake. I called the fight perfectly and was at ringside to watch it all. Most of the people in the arena knew nothing about boxing. They were just blessed that a fighter they ignored throughout his career loved them so much that he worked hard to become champion just to bring them a World Championship fight. He wasn’t going to fight a bum and defend it, he never has, you have to respect who he wants to fight and who he fights regardless if you like his style or not.
This was only his 1st clear loss (KO) the other two were either close or called wrong as boxing experts called the 1st Piccirillo fight. His trainer said he didn’t want to fight at welterweight that fight because Cory had to lose to much weight to make the fight http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxing_forum/index.php/topic,13774.0.html.
For everyone who keeps telling me that Cory doesn’t hit hard enough to compete at middleweight all I have to say is name one fight in the past 5-6 years were his punching power made a difference. I had to cool click my self for that one :coolclick:. For those who say that Spinks doesn’t have the chin to compete at light middle or middle (could possibly be correct) but the fact of the matter is name another fighter who knocked Spinks down let alone out. Now name a fighter that hits harder or has more knockouts than Judah; let’s see Mayorga, Diaz, Pineda, Piccirillo, Gonzalez.
The thing with Judah is he hits hard and actually has the speed to rival or better Spinks speed the result for a boxer who’s defense is based on seeing punches coming is what. More punches taken on the noggin, Add that to the fact that Zab (who was already rehabbing his career from the Kosta loss) lost to Spinks knew you only get so many chances, and add to the fact that Spinks was weight drained ( I didn’t say it and Spinks doesn’t make excuses) according to his Trainer. You get a Zab Knockout.
He saw Mayorga’s punches coming and brace block or dodge the punch. He would’ve seen Trinidad’s punches (didn’t say he would beat him although him and Kevin were sure of it). I knew he would lose just like I know and knew at the same time I predicted the fight that he could definitely win the third fight but was sure it wouldn’t happen anytime soon due to common sense ( Cory is to heavy for welterweight Zab would be a fool to not want to try for De La Hoya Mosley or Kosta 1st. The story book finish would have been a rubber match at the MSG where Cory wins another Unanimous Decision ( that should be his nickname).
[u]If you want to see a knockout look out for local St. Louis 19 year old prospect Vaughn Alexander who fights tommorrow by the way (check boxrec.com for fight results. If you want to see great boxing look out for his 18 year old brother Devon Alexander who also fights on the same card. If you want to see the future of boxing keep your ears open for up and coming St. Louis fighters[/u]

P. S. I will be posting this as a new topic. I want to know how the world feels about the melting pot of boxing talent in the lou. Sonny Liston Henry Armstrong Michael Spinks Cory Spinks Leon Spinks even Archie Moore has his deep St. Louis Ties.
Does anyone remember Vernon Forrest’s walk in his first fight with Mayorga? He was dancing and singing a rap song, only to get KTFO in less than three rounds… That was embarrassing
