Naseem Hamed could be an easy chioce with his posturing and it's painstakingly long. I saw onetime he even arrive in a flying carpet.:D
I also remember Jorge Arce bringing a Horse inside the Arena and Fernando Vargas with white tiger in a cage (poor animals)
1) Hamed - 'The Prince who turned back into a toad' great ring entrances though
2) Camacho - Always made a great entrance, looked more stupid as time went on
3) Arce - Coming to the ring on a horse was something else!
Michael Dokes before the fight hand out roses to ladies at ringside.
Bowe and Roddock could have used it to soften the mat from his brutal KO;D
The Clown Prince of Boxing... Jorge "Maromero" Paez has IMO thee most memorable ring entrances ever.
I've yet to see a boxer enter a ring wearing a wedding dress with a vail. ;D
Most flamboyant ring entrance eh?
ELTON JOHN
;D
Seriously though, Hamed had the most garish:rolleyes:
Eubank used to have me in stiches with his, I remember him sitting on his Harly before one of the Collins fights I think;D
Eubank thought he was a body builder or something. lol. The sucker did have good taste in music though. Tina Turner is the shit!Quote:

..Although my favourite still remains tito vs hopkins :D
Tito wears a firemans hate out of respect to the NY fire service.. which keeps slipping.. and he does some dancing.. lots of smiling.. he stops for a dance before he enters the ring and papa trinidad looks bemused and unamused ;D
Coourse another comical thing about that fight is at the end Bernard is chanting very loudly U S A, U S A.. And the chant never picks up.. because for one everyone was still in shock, and for two everybody was prob still pissed at him for his antics with the Puerto Rican flag :p
mm.. But another rival could be Naz - Kelly..
Most hate that entrance but i love it..
He takes so long to get down the ramp.. terrible music..
I remember the larry merchant quote
" He says he has music in his head.. If he has, i dont want to hear it."
:D
Then he does the flip over the ropes.. And carries his way right into the crowd and kev kelly's people.. right up in kelly's face.. and benji estevez is laughing at the shitt talking between the two.. Lol while separating them that is..
Floyd Mayweather v Carlos Baldomir was pretty funny, a gladiator. Cory Spinks thinking he can sing is another funny one. Can't forget Enzo Maccarinelli's rush to get KNFO :lolhaha:
Lets not forget richard fatton's fat suit last time out.
It wasn't flamboyant, but still worth mentioning: Arturo Gatti coming out to "Thunderstruck" before he fought Mayweather and flinching when his own fireworks went off.
Ha ha yeah that was funny;DQuote:

Remember John 'The beast" Brown wearing that retarted Teddy bear monster outfit in to the Corrales (?) fight :-X
And what was with John Ruiz always running so fast into the ring for a fight.......and then being so tired he had to hug and hold all night ;D
The Naz flying carpet wins it for me! RJJ V Woods Rap show took the piss aswell!
Lets not forget Kostya Tszyu had some chick signing a song about him as he entered the ring :D. Here are a few of my fav. entrances not in order..
Hamed - ALL well i'll only put him in order because he is easily number 1 IMO.
Paez -alot
Mayweather - Baldomir
Hatton - Castillo
Roger Mayweather - Chavez ;D
Creed v. Drago
I don't know about flamboyant but my favourite was Tyson. straight down the aisle and no f!cking about. Thats one thing I liked about him.
Creeds was good but for me the Prince was always good to watchQuote:

Honourable mentions;
Sugar Ray Leonard
Hector Camacho
Jorge Arce
In terms of doing an entrance that no would thought they were capable of of.
Kid Thunder v David Dumas
The way Thunder managed to put 1 foot in front of the other amazed me
How about Corey Spinks rapping with Nelly, flavored with dance steps only to be KO'ed by Zab Judah ;D
Has anyone seen the Salvador Sanchez-Wilfredo gomez fight where the Mariachis and Salsa Band of both fighters played for their respective entrance.
Then the 2 opposing bands fought before the main fight, it's one hell of a circus
LOL, I remember Kevin Kelley being pissed because hamed was dancing on screen for like 5 minutes before he even walked out.Quote:

Good song.. :D
.. More honourable mentions..
Erik Morales vs pac 3..
Morales had Rey Mysterio in his crew walking in with him :p
And any Gary Stark entrance..
New Havoc gear.. Looking the business.. Kid caps made special.. New Era almost right down over the eyes.. Never looks at an opponent when he taps gloves..
Which further reminds me.. Tito 'touching' gloves many a time with ferocity..
( Pretty much just hammered his gloves onto his oppnents..)
Somewhat of a pre match tactic to get opponents riled up and off their game.
Yeah that was a cool entrance with Mysterio. Marquez had a nice one too with C.Blanco.Quote:

Lol.. Speaking of raw tyson entrances also..
Another pretty strait forward mean entrance was oscar into the trinidad fight..
Hood right up, very stern..
Difference being of course tyson didnt really go for music..
and when you watch oscar come in.. Listen to the music..
Bit of Bailamos by enrique! :D Classic!..
Actually guys I just changed my mind on all I said this is by far the best entrance ever, that was only top by his departure.

I remember seeing a Hamed entrance on youtube where there was about 3 of him dancing and then he came out at the end. lets see if I can find it
Oh and the Kelly entrance of course. Was Abraham the guy who came out to the smurfs song?
And here's Hamed FULL entrance to Kelly the only vid that has the full entrance I believe
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM1JM7YLIyU
I can't seem to find the other one yet
ill look for other entrances
I think he made all his ring walks to thunderstruckQuote:
