    I'm just watching Tito's ringwalk for Oscar, and it's a strange one. Breakbeats and random fattie roaring followed by strange samba music with Tito staring blankly down the lense for about 4 solid minutes before he gets literally gridlocked in the lane ("a ploy" accoring to mad Foreman). That put me in mind of the Kostya ring-walk for Zab, which was utterly, utterly bizarre on the bizarrest night for boxing outside of Holyfield-Tyson earbite that occured in my lifetime.

    What other strange ringwalks are there?

    It took Tito eight-and-a-half minutes to get to the ring.

    It's one of those odd things that works on both the freakishly awesome and unusually cheesy kind of levels.

    Also, this video is fantastic for the look of pure admiration on that guy's face in the final few seconds.

    Hawk Makepula against Jorge Arce. Guy spent well over five minutes offering hosannas as he slooooooooooowly made his way to the ring. This didn't endear him to a crowd that was already pro Travieso.

    I always found Cory Spinks' ring entrances to be pretty strange to watch. The attempts at dancing (which looked more as though he was in the midst of a particularly nasty seizure), and the vaguely constipated facial expressions he wore during his performance always amused me to no end.

    How about a shout for Vampire Johnson on those old early ESPN cards?

    If you are not aware of it, he entered the ring with a page out of the Screaming Jay Hawkins book and arrived via casket w/ blood dripping from fangs. What a character.

    For me, Vernon Forrest's (RIP) walk to the ring against Mayorga the first time is just hysterically funny. To see Vernon smiling like a kid in a candy store while his entourage tried to belt out a badass-sounding rap just did not gel at all and struck me as hilarious.

    Demarcus Corley wearing a gas mask and big sunglasses was pretty strange. Cory Spinks horrible dancing was also pretty bad.

    Evander Holyfield singing gospel music at the top of his lungs for the second Tyson fight was pretty weird.

    They looks like dead jedis talking to luke... which is funny because Holyfield is there and he's still fighting.
