Fighters who were good at clowning

Thats the legendary ATG from the UK
Mike Sprott
hes fought other fellow ATGs like Danny Williams, Audley Harrison and Matt Skelton

The legendary fights between these 4 was called Frank Warrens Merry Go Round

I remember at the end of each fight old Frank would promise them a world title shot.......

 

Sugar Ray Robinson was not known for clowning in the ring but against Bobby Dykes, he pretends he was getting KO'd after an exchange. Dunno why it always stuck, probly becuz Ray never clowned in the ring, all business.

Awesome. The Animated Gif King.

 

Thanks, but I didn't do this one. If I did, it would have a watermark because I can't do these types without the aid of the unreliable gifsoup site.

 

calzaghe looks like a boxing mr. bean

 

I guess no one here remembers the immortal Ray "Windmill" White. Everyone else is a wannabe.

Tell us some more about this guy scartissue.

 

My dad use to tell me about a guy he used to watch in person called Windmill White he used to hit guys with behind the back punches and literally fight like a windmill at times. He told about some other crazy antics. Do any of you guys know about him? He fought a lot in the LA area back in the 70s heard he was actually a pretty capable fighter and had some good wins. Forgot what his real first name was.

 

Ray "Windmill" White was a character. Aside from the fact that he was tall, rangy, a decent boxer (no real punch), he had a variety of punches that he would pull out of his sack that would keep the crowd in stitches. His kangaroo punch, his double-whammy, his behind the back punch, his feigning injury. I believe he bit Jimmy Dupree in a clinch and feigning injury once cost him a bout. He was fighting Jesse Burnett and got clocked in the 8th and looked dead to the world. The ref immediately stopped it instead of counting to attend the stricken White, but Ray leapt up and said, "I was only faking!" The ref said, "You did a pretty good job." White was pissed, but said to the press later, "Ah, what the hell, I was getting my ass kicked anyway." Once in Ohio, he realized he was short a few supplies in his gym bag and had a woman pick up a few things for him in the ladies room. He fought that night, with Kotex under his hand wraps. They used to announce him as, "From Ventura, California, the fighting carpenter, Ray "Windmill" White." Once while fighting, there was a audio lull and some wiseguy yells out in the audience, "Hey, Ray, I hope you're a good Carpenter." Everyone including the announcers split a gut, even Ray who just sort of waved him off got a kick out of it. If anything, every Ray White fight was entertaining.

The Best Ever: Pernell Whitaker (see hilarious parts of Ramirez II and De La Hoya fights)


The Worst Ever: Joe Calzaghe (see the shameful Roy Jones "fight")


And of course, the legendary moron himself...
