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 surprisedhow 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
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.Originally Posted by Britkid

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.![]()

The biggest clown is Don King.

Remember seeing this guy on an undercard and thinking 'Jeez,he's a bit of a clown!'

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.Originally Posted by mokele
