Didn't lightweight champ where a kilt into the ring, because he was Scottish.

 

Ken Buchanan

 

DeMarcus Corley. He also did something strange like designing underwear or lingerie.

 

The biggest controversy re trunks in the 70s I’ve seen was when Ali faced Patterson in 1972, both refusing to forgo their white with black trim boxing shorts for “identification” purposes which I assume is outlined in the rules.

It was ultimately decided that both men were sufficiently distinguished by their prior careers, achievements and reputations as to moot the question of a mere matching trunks confusing matters.

Imagine, years later, the same conundrum involving two boxers fronting in identical “skirts”.

One fighter be like, “OMG, I told you to call me beforehand so we wouldn’t clash/twin!”

 

I detest them almost as bad were Wilder's leggings.

 

Nope. The worst abomination is Jim Corbetts butt cheek exposed shorts. Hands down most offensive of all time.

 

He always wore tartan boxing trunks.

 

Not a skirt but when Michael Gomes fought and beat Alex Arthur he wore shorts that would have been approved by MC Hammer they were that long and baggy. Not usually a fan of the skirt look, especially as you then need cycling shorts on underneath and lets be honest no one should be seen dead in them.
The odd person gets away with it, Katsides is a good one and it suited Paulie and Camacho but few can pull it off.

 

Yeah Hatton could wear pretty long one to at times...almost near a 3/4 with all the embellishment he had a times must have weighed a ton.

 

No, Ken didn't wear kilts...they were Tartan plaid trunks.
