    Guys like Hector Camacho, Naseem Hamed, and Paulie Malignaggi have worn ridiculous trunks that had a skirt on it. My question is when did this trend started and why do some boxers actually wear them in the ring? Usually its the more flashy, colorful personalities that wear those.

    Along the same line-

    Do fighters still wear robes into the ring?

    I don't watch fights anymore, so don't know.

    when and if boxing ever returns to what made it great...15 round title fights and other classic staples, there will be always be a place for fighters to wear robes....nothing will ever replace the big, white terrycloth hooded robe style of Sonny Liston...every bit as cool if not more so than Tysons robeless, sockless image..and certainly more cool and badass than any skirt type ****.

    Never mind skirts! What about those ridiculous "cheeky" things jim Corbet and co wore? I never got my head around how in such conservative times when the fear of a womans bare ankle might cause the premature ejaculation of unsuspecting men and bring the whole world into depravity it was also acceptable for "the champion of men" to parade their bare arse cheeks like total homos in a gay porn film!!

    I don't like any of that stuff especially the ads seem to annoy me so much.
    Just every inch of the trunks with a different add on them

    I'm not sure what's worse, skirt shorts or hobbit pants. The length of shorts nowadays is truly stagger. Don't give you even a hint of thigh. At least the skirts give you the opportunity for a sneak peak at the groinal region. Hobbit pants it is then.

    You have to be very secure in your masculinity to rock a skirt

    Unless you're Katsidis

    Kats could wear a pink frilly thong and fluffy rabbit boots to the ring and it wouldn't diminish his badassery one whit.

    It looks like he's had a strong influence from pro wrestling.

    Did Adrian Stone fight Shane Mosley with skirt trunks? All I remember is that his trunks ruined George Foreman's vision, does something to his eyesight.

    but I also like Toney's ridiculously long ones which kind of capitalized on the fact that he didn't need to move his legs all that much to make you miss and kick your ass.
