    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.

    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.
