Joe Louis = Purple Mike Tyson = Black Muhammad Ali = White with a black stripe. Most Kronk Gym Boxers = Yellow with blue and red trim. Who else?
Lennox Lewis in the last five years of his career always wore white with red trim FUBU shorts. Nigel Benn nearly always wore black. Chris Eubank with his yellow and red. Hatton always wore the same or similar throughout his career. Razor Ruddock white and yellow roots shorts.
If I recall in the Louis fight films, he didnt have much of a choice of what to wear, since the color of the shorts purple were require to wear as champion, and the contender got white or something I belive.
running low on original thread titles? quarrys green nortons royal blue haglers.....not colour wise but same design. the pale blue and purple
Kronk was different. All the guys has the same trunks. It was ok. I like the switch around, but Kronk pulled it off well with Hearns and the rest of them.
In the old days one fighter had to wear purple trunks and the other black trunks with a thin white stripe. I don´t know who desided this but it was downright stupid! On black and white film purple turns out almost black, so on a lot of old fight films you have trouble identifying the boxers. Woller
