    Theres been a lot of characters in boxing over the years from Al "Bundini" Brown to Jorge Paez. We got Camacho, Mayorga, Don King...Ali...who had the highest entertainment value?

    Ali

    Camacho

    I think Camacho really understood the business side of boxing and knew how to market himself. He was a master at that. Hamed was too.

    Silly me. Hamed was an entertainer as well. I used to like watching him fight when he was around. I was always worried he was going to hurt his leg doing a front flip over the top rope, lol.

    Probably not the most eccentric but I always found Chris Eubank entertaining outside the ring.

    Randall 'Tex' Cobb must be a contender surely?
