Tracks For History's Best...

If ringwalk music were a part of Boxing from day one, which songs would you assign as perfect foils to introduce some of the great pre-music era fighters?

"Night Train" - James Brown (An obvious choice for Sonny Liston)

"Bodicea" - Enya (Ray Robinson)

"Lux Aeterna" -Synthetic Version- - (George Foreman)

 

Iron Man - Black Sabbath (Jake LaMotta)

 

F-F-F-Falling - The Rasmus (Terry Norris)

 

brian nielsen's entrance music vs. tyson was the most amusing. it was that monty python tune which its name i can't remember.

also, the song is quite annoying now, but the first time i heard ja rule's new york new york was when judah fought some scrub on the undercard of tito/mayorga at the garden. i remember the crowd erupting to the jam when judah was making his ring entrance.

does anyone know the name of the entrance song that tito came into vs. hopkins? that was pretty cool puerto rican jam.

 

It was "Always look on the bright side of life" which Nielsen could well do as his fat ass was about to earn millions for being kicked bigtime.

Lou Savarese came into Foreman fight with "Staying Alive", that was funny too

 

REED has Always Joked about Entering the Ring to "Do U Really Want to Hurt Me", by Boy George & Culture Club....



REED:mj:

 

"Simply the best" - Floyd Mayweather. :kidcool:

 

Must beat Pacquiao for licensing of the track first. Perhaps if it were re-recorded as, "Possibly the best," for right now. It's the fight which needs to happen. A latter-day Whitaker-Chavez scenario, as pound-for-pound talk goes.

Mayweather also comes from the era which does use track recordings.

 

:: nice.

 

Alright, just for you, Sly, he may enter the ring with the track re-written as, "Probably The Best."
