Any horrible boxing trunks out there that possibly effected performance or at the very least looked just plain stupid?
I remember a paulie malignaggi fight in which his choice of hair do was affecting his vision. I think he had dreads that were out of control and had to be cut.
Whats the deal with some of these huge boxing shorts that go below the knee? Shorts should be short, duh. Shorts should go no longer than the top of the knee.

Whenever I think of Tony Collins first thing that always comes to mind is the bother he had keeping his ponytail secure in fights

Danny Williams had some almost ankle length shorts in one of his fights - can't remember which one :-( always thought he was a very underrated fighter and hope he's doing well

Eubank playing the artistocratic toff has always made me smile as well....
....he used to wear those puffed-out riding britches and seemed blissfully unaware that the last time these were in fashion they were favoured by Italian and German fascists.

Very true.....Lloyd's dress sense is to put things kindly....unconventional.
Went through a phase of turning up to stuff wearing huge, horrific fur coats and jewellery that made him look a like a butch Barbara Cartland.

What about those sparkly pink shorts he wore inside the ring against curry. They were beauties.
