Who is the greatest showman to step in the ring? For me its a toss up between Hamed and RJJ, as much as I love how Roy embarrasses his opponents i have to go with Hamed. Nobody does a Hamed entranced or danced as much during the fight. I cannot comment on Ali as i was not yet around when he was still fighting and i find him more of a showman outside the ring than in it.
If we talking about flamboyant and showman and that is it. Leaving out skills then there was a fighter in the 90's named Jorge "Maromero" Paez.
He is not on the level of Jones, Hamed, Ali in terms of physical attributes and skills.
But, as for flamboyant and as a showman goes I think he deserves a mention. Hector Camacho also.
How can we forget about Paez "The circus clown" that guy was very entertaing! Macho Man too should get a vote
Naz for me, He single-handedly brought money for the little guys. If not for him the little guys would be paid peanuts even now.
yo he came in on a magic carpet lol....remember he used to flip over the ropes to enter the ring. damn i miss ish like that

Greatest showman ever? Jesse Joe Walcott, without a doubt.
ali started it off but naz took it to a new level. everyone at tha arena probably wanted to stamp on his head lol, that was the amount he got to people. his cocky boxing style also was just so arrogant it was unreal

My vote went firmly to Ali.
RJJ, Floyd, and Ahmed, all took a page out of his book not in the literal sense but in the sense that love you or hate you as long as people tuned in and knew who you are was a tactic all adopted by Ali.
SRR was the most flamboyant.....don't know why he isn't on your list....but he should be.
True enough, I assumed that TS meant pure showmen in the ring. Robinson was definitely super flamboyant.
