    Others that I liked was Leonard against Hagler. At least I did at the time as I was thoroughly in Ray's corner back then.

    And of course Ali.
    Thank you. Totally agree. You should remind the poster robertzimmerman of this. He swears what Joe did was a crime. Haha. Jones did stuff like that all the time when he was younger. Then people fipped out at the tables being turned. I loved it.

      I have mixed feelings about showboating and posturing.

      In a highly competetive bout it adds a lot to the entertainment and drama factor.

      In a one sided fight or an insignificant fight it just feed the ego of the fighter doing it.

      Its all about the time and place.

      For example, Eubank Jnr does it simply because his dad told him to...but he just comes across as an arrogant d1ck.

          I'm a fan of showboating in most cases, so yeah, no problems from me. Let's see him do it gainst someone like Mikey though.

            robertzimmerman is a huge Roy Jones fan. He is kinda obsessed and cant take it when Roy's career gets scrutinized. I have debated him many times. I like him though. He is civil, knowledgeable and has a sense of humour.

              His shadow is black so a few posters that don't normally like him probably like that aspect of him though.

                  I don't mind showboating too much, it just depends.

                  Doing it after your opponent tries showboating or talking trash is when I enjoy it the most.

                  Also love seeing it fail. Like Ward vs Kovalev or Anderson Silva in I think his first or second boxing fight prior to being a pro MMA guy. He tried doing the Ali shuffle, I think he got punched while doing jt

                    Oh I see. Oh I know he's knowledgeable. Very cool guy, too. We just don't see eye-to-eye at all on that point. Ha.

                      I think the only time I like showboating is something like Maidana when he did it back to Broner, as revenge. Maybe when Calzaghe did it to Hopkins (which was sort of a "revenge" too after what BHop said). Generally though, I don't like it. Don't like when Loma does it (looks awkward to me), nor Floyd, didn't like it at all when Roy did it, hated it when Joe did it to Roy.

                      I think one of the only other times when I thought it looked cool was Mayorga vs Tito but Mayorga was just a madman and he was losing anyway...
                      Really?? Roy was so slick and smooth with his moves.

                      This is my favorite, Simply incredible:
