    Theres been a lot of characters in boxing over the years from Al "Bundini" Brown to Jorge Paez. We got Camacho, Mayorga, Don King...Ali...who had the highest entertainment value?

    Jack Johnson

    Ali

    Camacho

    Jorge Paez deserves a mention.

    I think Camacho really understood the business side of boxing and knew how to market himself. He was a master at that. Hamed was too.

    Silly me. Hamed was an entertainer as well. I used to like watching him fight when he was around. I was always worried he was going to hurt his leg doing a front flip over the top rope, lol.

    Probably not the most eccentric but I always found Chris Eubank entertaining outside the ring.

    Randall 'Tex' Cobb must be a contender surely?
