The great Wilfredo Gomez' Puerto Rican flag shorts is one of the best shorts I have seen in boxing. Very creative.

Yes he did. Many Puerto Ricans had those shorts. They were classic. I like them shorts. The last one wearing them was Felix "Tito" Trinidad.

Oh man, I love those shorts. Very creative. I would like to meet that guy. I also want to buy his autobiography. Ken Buchanan was always somebody that I was intrigued by him.

By 1983, The Kronk Boxing Team started wearing the gold trunks. Those were the coolest shorts ever in my view. They used to wear white shorts at first.

Ali didn't wear those trunks in the first fight against Cooper or the first Frazier fight.

No, he did not wear them, but, most of his fighting career, the great Muhammad Ali wore the Everlast white shorts

:lol: :lol: he needed his full 8 hours sleep before being confronted by those things, and I don't think he'd had them. Fair play to The Atomic Bull for getting himself back in shape and in contention after that :TU:
