    In my opinion, Roy Jones is the best out there. It suits him and its fun to watch. But Joe Calzaghe looks akward when he does it. Especially against Hopkins and Jones. He tries but fails imo. I cringe sometimes and it has nothing to do with his boxing skills, but he is just not ment for showboating

    So who are the best and worst?

    Calzaghe looked horrible when doing it.

    At first it was fun to see Jones get a taste of his own medicine, But...and this is a big but.....after a couple of rounds of it, it had become tedious and i would rather of seen Calzaghe either

    A. stop Jones

    or

    B. Try to stop Jones and stop the show boating.

    Different styles of showboating.

    Roy, however, made a career and legacy on showboating.

    Roy Jones and Hopkins are great at showboating,Calzaghe looks like a mental person who is just learning how 2 dance

    Hopkins was great when he was doing it in Pav fight. Best of all time has to be Sugar Ray Leonard tho IMO
