    Default Biggest clowns of boxing in history

    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 how can you ever conceive that list and forget Naseem Hamed
    "Very few people really understand what it means to be a fighter. I hate it when I hear someone say, 'That fighter doesn't have guts. I hate that, I don't care if you're a world champion six times over or a four-round fighter, to step inside that ring, you have to have guts" Oscar De La Hoya

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.

    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.

    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.
