    In the old days the important fighters attending fights were often called out. Not gonna lie, I loved it. It created a sense of community and legacy sprinkled with a little bit of showmanship. Would it work in the modern era, or is the camera showing a fighter eating popcorn the current equivalent?

    Fury should be at the Usyk vs Aj rematch for example and get in tge ring afterwards
    I hate when it happend vs an opponent thats not worthy though.
    Like some WWE fighter. But say Crawford should have been in the ring to call out/hype up the megafight vs Spence a while back.

    I loved it!!! Wouldn't it be great before the Crawford Spence fight if Duran and Leonard entered the ring and were introduced before the fight!!! A smart promotor would give them seats near ringside. I also loved the old ring walks ,not the world wrestling federation entrances used today with smoke, lights and gibberish.

    It won't have the same effect due to excess social media/media imo

    Jim Ross is the best dramatic commentator.

    I absolutely loved it and thought it was good for not only the fighters themselves, but the sport. Truly miss it.

    Imagine if Usyk or AJ attended Fury/Wilder or Fury attended AJ Usyk

    Usyk's face watching Ruiz flatten AJ and ruin his payday was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

    They don't because they have a weird power/ego and promotional thing going on

    AJ attended Fury McDermott, he is a Fury fanboy at heart.

    The call outs were fun to watch when I was a kid but I will say this. If they are going to continue to have long drawn out ring walks then I do not need call outs to make my wait even longer. If they replace ring walks with call outs I would be all for it.

    They should stage it, like the WWE or the attitude era.

    Some boxing robberies make Montreal Screwjob look mild.
