    1) Roberto Duran (the navy blue ones like in the Hearns/Hagler fights; I love the simplicity)

    2) Manny Pacquiao (the red ones from the Cotto fight... the green kidney shield provided an amazing contrast)

    3) Floyd Mayweather (the gray sheepskin, red leather trunks from the Hatton fight were just amazing)

    I like Pacquiaos no fear trunks. The classic Pacquiao red with orange flame no fear trunks.

    Agree about the red with flames. He should have never stopped wearing them.

    Bazooka Gomez's PR flag trunks were class.

    Also Tyson's black trunks.

    I like Muhammad Ali's white trunks with black trim. Nice and simple.

    Barreras shorts from the first morales fight were ace. Mayweathers vs ndou with the fur were prob the craziest but best.

    Worst shorts? I fukennhate the tassel style chop chop is known for. Also floyds in the ortiz fight were ****ing putrid

    Joe Louis' stylized "JL" in the old film is the best.

    Something about the Kronk Gym yellow I've always liked.

    Chad Dawson in the fight with Pascal.

    Miguel Cotto has had several good looks and has pulled it off despite having sponsorship clutter, too.

    Mayweather is notable as being one of the best dressed in recent years. He had clean simple looks early, several dramatic ones when he was flamboyant, and a lot of classic trunks after he became a PPV star. Some of his stuff I wasn't so keen on but starting in '06 on he has notably good attire.
    -Pacquiao, Maidana I... were fresh, among my favorites
    -Hatton, Cotto, Mosley... all nice high class looks
    -Baldomir, Ortiz... honestly really liked the pink/white and the Doritos

    The Union Jack trunks have been done well before.

    Fictional: Apollo Creed wins easy.

    I liked Pacquaio's in Marquez 4 and the old no fear trunks. I liked Floyds vs Canelo and Hatton.

    No love for David Haye's sequinned union jack trunks? ;)

    No way those are Manny's best trunks. That is one of his ugliest truth be told. The ones with the flames were better than that. I can't remember which fight it was.

    Here they are

    And the one trunk everyone remembers. Tyson's black trunks. That is undisputed, thread-for-thread ATG #1 trunks

    The Kronk Gym colors are identical to the colors of my high school which was located about ten blocks from the Kronk Gym. It couldn't be a coincidence.
