Good fighters with rat tails
I think we’ve had mullets. But what about boxers with rat tails?
I just watched Rich the Boxing Historian’s channel and this excellent vid on Jesse James Hughes which made me think of this as there are two for one: Jesse James himself and Adrian Stone.
Others I can think of:
Kostya Tszyu
Michael Carbajal
Kerman Lejarraga
(Poss) Alex Garcia
I’m sure there are many more - there were some tough U.K. journeymen too - like Peter Buckley? and Ricky Beard
Any other candidates? (It’s a slow boxing news week! )

Re: Good fighters with rat tails
Not sure why I had an image of Edwin Valero with a rats tail.
Seems I’ve lumped several dodgy hairstyles into the rats tail camp.

Re: Good fighters with rat tails
i think he had a mullet thingy going on, easy to mix the two
Re: Good fighters with rat tails
I seem to recall Barry McGuigan had one early on in his pro career.
Re: Good fighters with rat tails
You’re not mixing him up with Dave mcauley are you?

Didn’t Daniel Ponce De Leon have one? He seems like the type of fella to have one.

Re: Good fighters with rat tails
I am pretty sure the Mongolian Brits both had one - Shinny Bayaar and Choi - what are they doing with themselves these days? I hope they're well!

Re: Good fighters with rat tails
How could we forget Slammin Sammy Scaff? Got a good view of the rat tail as he was laying face down after Tyson clobbered him.
Re: Good fighters with rat tails
Yep, I'd forgotten that, but thinking about it, MacAuley's was even better than Barry's.
