Forget the anthems themselves - most of them are beautiful things, and I always get touched when I hear the Star Spangled Banner - but what about when they're performed before boxing matches?
Sometimes someone really does it justice... others you're certain the "singer" can't hear their own voice over the sound of the crowd and they sound like a hippo in pain. What's worse, the crowd still applaud.
What brought this thread to mind is the Trinidad/Mayorga fight - three anthems, two diabolical.
What's the worst rendition of an anthem at a bout you've heard?
