    The standards are Leonard landing the decoy right hand to the wind up bolo punch against Duran (fight two), and landing the wind up bolo punch against Hagler.

    Naseem got panned by the British press, for disrespecting Belcastro, when on the up.

    Ali was the coolest at this - that guy was super cool - and the coolest one for me was making George Foreman miss and nearly fall through the ropes bending him over then looking out and sticking his tongue out at the ringside journo's - what a cocky SOB haha

    Not really a fan of showboating.

    This one is interesting :

    4:58 ....... actually that's an illegal move from Tyson, but a good bit of showing off.

    Plenty of good ones so far, but I have to say, my least favorite has to be Calzaghe-Jones.

    Agreed. That was a little gut wrenching to watch.

    B-Hop doing push-ups was a good recent one. Morales turning southpaw could kind of count.

    Leonard is my fav showboater...he had that cheeky, boyish face to go with it. The bolo punch in the 4th rnd against hagler was awesome coz it came out of no where.
