I never liked the Klit one, I was squirming at some points.

[crespo21]

i always liked Nigel benns entrances.
He just looked like one mean mother fucker.

Mike Tyson against Spinks - All business, no robes or anything just wanting to get in the ring.

[NO MAS]

Mike Tyson against Spinks - All business, no robes or anything just wanting to get in the ring.

That was agreat entrance... Tyson's entrance v Julius Francis at the M.E.N was great too... pitch black with an air raid siren.... awesome :good

[UndisputedUK]

When he looks at the camera before he punches the skeleton head is hilarious! :lol:

I thought the same thing. :good

He was a breath of fresh air. We need someone like him now.

It was embarrassing

[safc1990]

Naz-Kelly

Yeah I'll go with this as well, you could see that Kelly was really pissed and just wanted to rip Naz's head off. :lol::lol:

[trotter]

Agree with a couple :

Naz-Kelley for the commentary... Foreman and Merchant didn't know what to make of it all but Foreman soon bought into it

Merchant was dying for Naz to lose though lol


Tyson was always a class act, all black outfit with only a towel, in tribute to fighters of years gone by. Straight in the ring, no hullabaloo. He got fined against Berbick because he wore all black... Berbick as champ had the choice of colours but Tyson wore his black gear anyway


The Klitschko ones are horrendous, horrible, sterile, contrived crap

[Mazallan]

Ajose Olusegun vs Nigel Wright II.

Ajose is incredible.

[dondada]

I really liked the Klitschko one. Might look a bit daft now but on the night it was great.

Used to like some of Oliver McCall's entrances - just used to run to the ring, no robes or fuck all.

If you want to see a buzz before a fight, check out Salvador Sanchez v Wilfredo Gomez.

[Chinny]

Naz's entrances were simply awesome.

I remember an early ITV one, even before Belcastro (actually it might have been Belcastro) when he came in to "Here comes the hotstepper". It was just electric. Reg said something like "Don't be fooled into thinking this is just an act. This kid really believes all this"

[Losfer_Words]

I never liked the Klit one, I was squirming at some points.

I'm glad at least someone agrees with me!

As for my choice- just to be different I'll nominate Clottey's little jig on the way to the ring against Cotto. That bloke is unintentionally hilarious, IMO.

[HairyHighlander]

Didnt know about the fine etc :good

Naz punching that skull was funny as fuck :lol:

Yep, as Gazoc said also, kinda cringy bits for me with the klit entrance.

Naz's magic carpet was pants too.

[Akxtinguish]

I never liked the Klit one, I was squirming at some points.I'm glad at least someone agrees with me!Count me in. The only thing more shocking than that cringeworthy ring entrance was coming on ESB to see half the forum fawning over it.

:patsch

PS: Lennox Lewis probably had to do about ten takes before managing it without bursting out laughing.

[Chinny]

fan man?

[safc1990]

I personally loved Darchinyan's entrance vs Arce. As soon as his face showed up on the screen the largely pro-Arce crowd booed the hell out of him and Vic just walks to the ring with a psychotic grin on his face.

[kosaros]

That recent entrance with Ahmed was pretty awesome as well, for all the wrong reasons :lol:

[pathmanc1986]

bernard dunnes entrance against cordoba was magic, the crowd going nuts, the first part with o fotuna and just when u thought they had gone too far and bernard was taking himself too serious a wee bita fiddly dee to make everyone cheer. great craic

[GPater11093]

McAllisters entrance was crazy last week

Sowah came out and i thought it was loud, he og tthe crowd cheering and clapping with him, it was a good entrance.

Lee came in and it went wild, you would have heard it in Glasgow

[fenian 67]

[ishy]

I love Lewis' entrances. not flashy but he just exudes some kind of menace. He looks like he's soaking up all the energy from the crowd.

lewis looks scary.the man doesnt get the credit he deserves

[mcguirpa]

lewis looks scary.the man doesnt get the credit he deserves
His entrance against Botha was another. That little jig he does, eyes full of fire. He scares the shit out of me anyway:lol:

[Dunky McCafferty]

I always laugh when I see naz being talked about nowadays, cos the majority of young posters just see his showmanship on youtube, get all goosepimply & actually forget to look at the guy for his boxing ability alone.
Nowadays all I see is 'Naz was the best' just cos of those silly entrances that he stole from Eubank, when Hameds record in no way stands up to close scrutiny.
Did hamed win belts? Yes.

Did hamed win life & death struggles with shot fighters? Yes.

Did Hamed get owned when he stepped up to elite level? Yes.

Did Hamed take an easy fight to go out on a high afterwards against a spaniard? Yes.

But hey, his big mouth & big ring enterances were great to watch, therefore he must be a legend on these shores, yes?

NO.

For the reasons I stated above.

[kosaros]

I hope your not aiming that at me!

Naz is a 'legend' though on these shores, his bravado is partly the reason.

Carl Thompson is a 'legend' on these shores for his excitement and heart.

Although I guess it is how you define a legend, but for me he is - plus I think he is in the top 10 UK fighters of all time.

Naz's resume stands up to most modern day British fighters. Bar Lewis i'm struggling to come up with another....poss Calzaghe

Do you HONESTLY believe Naz wasn't a legend?

If not,who is?

This is one of those rare occasions when i actually agree with Dunky's analysis. Im a huge fan of Naz but the only top opposition who was somewere near they're peak that he fought was Barerra and he lost comfortably. As with all British fighters it was a total stage managed career because he was such a huge money maker for SKY and HBO.
And before all you Lennox Lewis fans get over excited, this guys career can be picked apart too, this was a guy that got beat by 2 of the absolute worst belt holders in heavyweight history, he was a guy that never faced any elite fighters who were near they're peak, Tyson was shot, Holyfield was old and weathered and i'll never consider Vitali an elite fighter.
Manny Steward rebuilt him after the McCall defeat to take the center ring, use his physical attributes and jab the heads off his opponents, it was a smart strategy knowing the Lewis had no chin and no stomach for a proper fight. He was flat footed, usually gassed after 6 or 7 rounds even though he hardly worked and im expected to believe he could beat Ali or Holmes over 15, people are having a laugh ..
As for Calzaghe, his career was stage managed more than Naz's. He stays in a stepping stone division like Super Middle fighting complete bums in Cardiff for most of his career only getting brave enough to go to the states when Jones is finished and Hopkins is so old he can only work for a minute of every round ....

Even though i agree with Dunky on Naz, i always have to take his comments with a pinch of salt having read some of his ludicrous statements on very average Scottish fighters of the past, mainly Scott Harrison and Alex Arthur. Dunky used to talk about these 2 guys like they were on a par with Sugar Ray Robinson when in fact they were both very average domestic level fighters who make Naz, Calzaghe and Lewis look like the greatest of all time ..

[Primadonna Kool]

If anyone has Lennox Lewis vs Hasim Rahman II entrance..!

It is one of the greatest entrances of all-time, Lennox Lewis came into the ring to..

"James Brown The Big Pay back"

Not his normal, Bob Marley..!

Lennox Lewis was one bad mofo that night...

I wasn't saying Naz is an ATG but in British history he Lewis and JC,will be remembered as modern day legends. Surely there's no disputing that?

:lol:

This is despite me admitting when Scotty was active & holding a version of the world title that he would never have beaten Manny Pac...

Me comparing Scotty Harrison to Sugar Ray Robinson:patsch- I dont know if I should laugh at your post or cry!!!

As for Alex Arthur, just cos I think he could have beaten a weight drained Guzman, does that automatically make him comparable to Sugar Ray Robinson either???
Man, I love the shit people make up about me here just cos I love scottish fighters, its the stuff of legend
