Billy Hardy & Dave McAuley are great shouts, Carlos.
International I know but Michael Carbajal had a dreadful 'tache at about the same time as he had that mullet-ohican (hellish portmanteau of a mullet with bits shaved out the sides to make a half-arsed attempt at a Mohican).
Also, I ladies & germs, I present to you...
Yoko Gushiken!
BEHOLD!!!
/thread, though I admit I might be swayed by the enormity of his Japanese 'fro. (Japafro, anyone? No? Suit yourself).

carbajal was trained in their backyard gym by his brother danny who was a barber, so the whole
presentation is credited to him. danny then made the news for ripping michael off for millions
of dollars and also being convicted of stealing hundreds of thousands from his estranged wife
who was shot and killed along with her boyfriend on their way to meet her divorce attorney
to arrange for a settlement with danny. danny went to prison for theft and his wife's killer was
never found and the case is still open. that said, the mullet-ohican and tache were the least of
danny's crimes.

Japfro's were all the rage back in t'day man! Didn't Jiro Wanatabe have one as well? Asian ladies of all nationalities loves Afros - had all my classmates at university having a good feel of my hair saying how soft it is!!

That is a bad story - do you think there's a jail somewhere with loads of inmates tached and mulleted up? It's a scary thought.

I think only Chang came anywhere near close to rivaling Gushiken's 'fro
I think someone's mentioned McGuigan's 'tache but McAuley also rocked it to full effect.

as long as we have veered off into the realm of asianfros + tache,
does anybody remember kim kwang sun?
here he is winning the gold in 88
after only 5 pro fights, he challenged humberto "chiquita" gonzales for the wbc title and
was winning in the last round when he got stopped, then next year he beat another guy
and then challenged carbajal in vegas for both the wbc and ibf titles and got caught in
the 7th, then retired at 6-2 with 2 world title fights.

Ouch!
Thanks for this mate, I knew his brother ripped him off in later years, didn't realise that he'd been doing his 'do since the start!
& yes, I remember Kim Kwang Sun! Great little warlord & as you said amazing Asianfro/'tache combo. His fight with Carbajal was something of a 'tache/bad hairdo epiphany as I remember. They also beat the living shite out of each other...

Honourable mention of the Mexifro before someone gets it in...
Died, of course, at 22; & never wore a 'tache.
Two of the greatest tragedies in boxing.

I have got this fight on DVD....awesome win for George, he didn't/dosen't like Willis and it certainly showed!

1950s British heavyweight champion Jack Gardner had a full-on moustache; former British light-heavy champ Alex Buxton had one of those neatly trimmed adornments of the upper lip ... Derry's Charlie Nash was moustached ... Vernon Sollas, former British featherweight champ, had a neatly trimmed version ... I'm pretty sure the big-hitting Edinburgh middleweight Tom Imrie, a former ABA champion, had a moustache when he boxed professionally (although in the amateurs Tom was clean-shaven) ... Detroit middleweight banger Henry Hank sported quite a dashing slimline moustache ... Ken Norton rocked a moustache.
