Tyson's entrance vs Michael Spinks. It wasn't anything extravagant but the music he chose to play for that sh-t plus the way he stepped in set the mood for quite possibly the most important KO of his career very very well lol.

This is a very very close second though

I don't usually watch intros. I skip past them and go right to round 1 when watching on DVD. Tyson had some good ones though, along with Holyfield when I DID watch fights live, Sonny Liston used to go to the ring to Night Train, didn't he or was that just a song he worked out to?

Liston used that song for training. Back then there were almost never musical entrances.

When did boxers start doing that then, the '80s? What's the earliest musical entrance you remember seeing or have ever heard of?

That was the first one that came to mind for me Vitali vs Peter. All of the Klitscho ones have amazing entrances, They put a lot of money and effort into it

The first one was Ali vs Earnie Shavers if I recall

Ali used the Star Wars theme

I honestly can't remember the first one I heard. My belief is that Hamed came to the US doing it so it caught on as a part of the show since then. They've been doing this longer in Europe, where major fights are a huge production. American promoters seem mainly concerned with selling tickets and PPV's and are too short sighted to see the bigger picture of giving the crowd something memorable.

Dempsey with a towel same with Tyson copying him! Sugar Ray with the short white terry cloth robe with the hood! Ali with the long Everlast white satin robe with white Everlast trunks trimmed in red!!! 'Joe Louis's dark purple/black trunks.

No music just people appauding, screaming and the crowd pumping up the fighters not some circus sounding idiot yelling!!!!
I never saw Sugarman live but I did see & feel the excitment as Ali walked into the arena and walked to the ring the place went "crazy"! No fighter not Leonard or Tyson or Duran could generate that feeling!!! Ali Ali Ali Ali was something very special if you weren't there you don't know! The Greatest for many reasons! Ray.
