    This will seem weird, but I always was impressed by Sonny Liston's white terrycloth robe...it was retro and badass.

    Agreed, and I'd add Ali's simple white robe with his name on the back. Classy and effective.

    Hector Camacho had the best robes by far.

    Tiger Flowers and Jimmy McLarnin had cool ring robes, though no color photos survive. Flowers' had a picture of a tiger on the back and McLarnin's employed a resplendent green fabric as would befit an Irishman.
