I might be a bit of traditionalist but I think boxers should have one "song" as their ring walk music and stick to it. It seems the trend more and more these days for fighters to swap and change their music rather than stick to one. Which fighters past and current have a trademark ring walk that sticks in your mind? Eubank - simply the best Hatton - blue moon Are the two that when I hear them instantly make me think of the fighter.
John Murray - Johnny B Goode. Graham Earle - Duke of Earl. David Haye - Ain't No Stopping Us Now. Paul Smith - Real Gone Kid.
You mean Skeete's? I was actually thinking of this in the gym today when Carl Frampton was having some Twitter banter with Mitchell Smith for having Florence & the Machine 'Spectrum' for his walk. There are a few that stand out for current boxers: Brook - All of the lights Frampton - Spectrum Groves - Spitfire Enzo - Won't back down (although someone nicked that on the Wazza card the other day) I suppose even Buglioni with his MVG White Stripe song. Crolla - Million Dollar Bill Eubank has used 'Still Dre' for a few fights now
Skeete used that for 3 consecutive fights recently. Not the fight against Gavin or the one before that but 3 fights ago. He was getting a lot of stick on twitter for it :yep

Ah, didn't hear that, my apologies. Think even then sub-consciously I was deleting every image I was viewing as it happened from both my long and short-term memory as I was nigh on certain it wasn't going to be worth remembering.
