Not everyone is a fan and it can be at times disrespectful, but also can contribute towards entertainment value and the psychology of a fight from a competitive perspective. Off the top of my head, Hopkins doing press ups between a round against Jean Pascal comes to mind. Also, any candidates for biggest showboater? To clarify, showboater, but not clown.

Deontay Wilder does a good Hybrid of Ali shuffle and Roy Jones dance but it’s not a good look. The best modern piece of show boating I’ve seen and one that made shows like Rogan was Billy Joe Saunders gaze into the distance against Lemieux.so natural and within the narrative of the fight.
Lomachenko does a bit of showboating from time to time. Like when he went into the corner and beckoned Marriaga to come and fight or when he done the matador thing to Sosa. Nas was the king of showboating. I don't mind a bit of showboating when it's from somebody like Nas or Lomachenko who were/are special talents, it's part of their repertoire
jesus how slow does roy look there.. u spend your life indulging in highlight reels and fights from his younger days, to see this is a true shock to the system.. he moves like roy... same signature hooks like roy... but just slow as all hell
No one will ever compare to prince naseem as far as showboating goes, inside and outside the ring, and who can forget the ring walks.... or rather... magic carpet ride into the ring. And the flip he always used to do on the ropes. Nah.... no one comes close.
Surely Roy Jones putting his hands behind his back and leaving himself completely open, just seconds before he KO's his opponent
