    I’ll start, Pierre Coetzer.

    What are the best moustaches in boxing you can think of?

    We should really have two categories because South Africa of the 70's thru 90's is without peer. Refer to an earlier study done on the subject.

    https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/greatest-south-african-heavyweight-mustache-poll.190523/

    For the non-Boer category I will submit the very dangerous (technically murderous) puncher from the 1980's, Chris The Southern Rebel Calvin. His mustaches went very well with the Stars and Bars that he flew upon entering the ring.

    Yoko Gushiken had the best 'stache and best afro to go along.

    Very true. I recall the Coetzer vs Du Plooy fight where the superior mustache (and fighter) won.

    Tex Cobb had a great one.

    Holyfield and Michael Spinks always had classy stache's imo.

    Good call on O'Sullivan. His was Rollie Fingers-esque.

    Muhammad Ali wore the mustache well later on in his career.
