    Already been 27 years since Naseem Hamed did one of his most iconic ring entrance when he came out with a Halloween-esque theatrics with Michael Jackson's Thriller playing in the background leading up to his fight with Wayne McCullough. Some questioned the tastefulness of putting on a show in a dangerous sport like boxing but it was still entertaining to see.

    It was better than the actual fight.

    One of the greatest ring entrances of all time. Naz was pure PPV - he was the one who probably opened up the doors for promoters to put any old fight on PPV because he was a featherweight fighting mostly B-grade opposition, but he was so entertaining that he got away with it. The sport could do with a figure like him now.
