Fighters who were good at clowning

Seriously, Whitaker and Lora.

 

When it comes to clowning,a lot of Qawi's generation tried to imitate Muhammad Ali. Yet they all missed the point. Ali,most of the time,did it with a twinkle in his eye. The likes of Qawi and Toney (*****..!) could n't grasp that.

 

Jorge Paez clowning was pure comedy!!

 

Qawi could be a mean guy in the ring, which is no surprise considering he learned his trade by being a street fighter. I liked it though when he took Holyfield's best shots and smiled at him, unlike against Leon where he was beating up a weight-drained and washed up opponent, which proved nothing.

Marty Marshall was literally a clown who made the crowd and opponents laugh with his unorthodox moves. I don't think it was intentional, just the way he fought. His fight against Harold Johnson is a perfect example of a textbook technician against an unorthodox and awkward opponent.

 

yeah, Sweet Pea's behind the back punches while in the clinch was always classic. Not dirty or shaming his opponent either, just playful.

 

Naseem Hamed

 

RJJ and SRL

 

Hamed was actually funny when he did it and could use it as a trap

 

Paez was a bizarre comic genius in the ring...maybe out of the ring as well. I sure enjoyed his fights.

 

Nah, Ali was a dickhead. It's just because his name is Ali that people say that. He was just a mean ****.

 

I gather Gypsey Joe Harris was quite a "Clowner" in the ring
- Sadly i dont think much film of him exists

 

Mark Johnson (caveman dance)

 

Ali displayed a mean streak at times,just like most fighters do. He could also be compassionate. One example being,during the second Quarry fight,when Jerry was virtually defenceless,and Ali signalled to the referee to stop the fight. A few people tend to forget this side of Ali.

 

Although he didnt do it very often i enjoyed Tysons odd clowning around moments in the ring, probably because it was so out of character for him

Like in the Mitch Green fight were he starts laughing at Mitch Greens fast punches
or in the Tony Tucker fight in the last round where he puts his hands down and starts dodging Tuckers punches with just his head
Also in the Ruddock fight where he points to his chin and smiles at Ruddock after receiving a left hook/uppercut

 

This guy failed at clowning:
