The Most Stylish Boxers of All Time

Boxers are some of the most badass dudes you can come across. They pound each other into smithereens for a living, win a ton of money, and live lives that resemble rap videos. If you hadn't already guessed, some of these guys are really well dressed.

Legends such as "Sugar" Ray Robinson and Ken Norton, Sr. knew what a good suit could do for their personal style, but there are also cases such as Mike Tyson and "Prince" Naseem Hamed who preferred a life of opulence and inspired stylish dudes in different ways. What you ever do, just don't tell them they look cute. If you need a new style icon who could probably kick your ass, here are The Most Stylish Boxers of All Time.

Record: 62-3-2, 52 K.O.
Career: 1973-1987

A nickname like "Marvelous" afforded Marvin Hagler to wear an ascot and get away with it. That's a ballsy move. Hagler, being a southpaw, had an unorthodox approach in the ring, but he still looked cool in pinstripe suits and track pants we're not ready to bring back yet.

Record: 61-5-1, 48 K.O.
Career: 1977-2006

A boxing career spanning 29 years is nothing to take lightly, but much like his hometown Detroit, Thomas Hearns had an unwavering spirit. He represented the Playboy essence and strut that Detroit is known for and his personal style had a definitive Motown groove. His nickname "The Hitman" allowed him to boastfully dress in a mafioso manner, but he'd also don furs, sport a 'fro, and never looked outdated in his three decades of boxing.

Record: 42-8, 2 NC, 29 K.O.
Career: 1996-present

Even if he never fulfills his potential, Zab Judah will be a classic off the strength of being referenced by Jay Z. It doesn't hurt that he throws up the ROC, has an icy grill, and a pair of Versace shades, either. His jab is explosive but so is his love for bling and bringing a hip-hop persona to boxing.

Record: 61-6-9, 34 K.O.
Career: 1914-1927

People will argue that Jack Dempsey is the best boxer of all time, but there's no debate how killer his #menswear game was. Dempsey was lucky enough to box in "The Great Gatsby" era, and his style is reflective of when a three-piece suit was mandatory. His slicked back hair and busted-up face is the classic image of a pre-WWII boxer.

Record: 36-3-1, 25 K.O.
Career: 1977-1997

Robeto Duran could have "No mas" of "Sugar" Ray Leonard's boxing finesse, but we're totally down with his throwback style. He's one of the guys who could successfully pull off a double-breasted suit jacket, and in 1972, The Ring magazine ran Leonard on the cover with a plaid shirt unbuttoned to his stomach, suspenders, white pants, and the headline, "Still in Style." He was also a champ of pulling off fashion risks.

Record: 32-4-1, 27 KO
Career: 1965-1981

"Smokin'" Joe Frazier's tailored clothing was almost as legendary as his bouts with Muhammad Ali. His style was serious but with a flare fitting for a world champion. Although he'd squander his money after his career was over, Frazier wore his hat on a slant and proved a perceived square could be hip, too.

Record: 37-1, 36 K.O.
Career: 1992-2002

Absurdity and swagger is what best describes "Prince" Naseem Hamed footwork, dance moves, and ring demeanor. He once came to the ring riding a flying carpet and two-stepped his way to the ring to the tunes of Mase. His steez flowed from his jabs as knocked out opponents and did it with a nonchalance.

Record: 69-6, 44 K.O.
Career: 1973-2002

No one could fuck with Larry Holmes' left hook or his suit and tie game. There's something reaffirming about a champion who walks around like a professional with a penchant for accessories and jewelry that make one statement: You're the boss. Holmes packed a punch by knocking dudes out and wearing just enough rings, chains, and the occasional fur.

Record: 173-19-6, 108 K.O.
Career: 1940-1965

You can thank "Sugar" Ray Robinson for creating the concept of the "entourage," and being a pioneer in the over-the-top lifestyle that obsesses the modern athlete. Robinson was a pretty boy, always dapper, and even drove around in a pink Cadillac. He had style smooth enough that you'd expect him to croon the ladies, but he blew through the majority of the $4M dollars he earned during his career. Still, he's renowned as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters of all time.

Record: 42-7-1, 33 K.O.
Career: 1967-1981

If you break Muhammad Ali's jaw, you're a certified badass and have firmly claimed a spot in boxing lore. Ken Norton, Sr. recently passed, but his love for tailored suits, being able to wear hats, and sporting the right amount of gold kept him stylish even as his career came to its end.

Record: 45-0, 26 K.O.
Career: 1996-Present

When you've never lost, you gain a confidence that extends to the way you dress. No one has ever bested Floyd Mayweather, Jr. in a boxing match, and he certainly dresses like it. He can show up to the BET Hip-Hop Awards in a Versace jacket and walks into the ring wearing python-skin attire. If your nickname is "Money," you better be the flashiest dresser, and Mayweather doesn't have an equal on his journey to stunt.

Record: 50-6, 2 NC, 44 K.O.
Career: 1985-2005

Mike Tyson in his prime was a ball of unbridled power, earning him the nickname "Kid Dynamite." His personal style also built part of his legend. Tyson reveled in the excess that his career offered him, but equally intrigued people with his eccentric nature. The combination of both resulted in Tyson wearing flashy sports gear, dressing up like the king and champion he was, or getting cozy in a pair of sweats and New Balance sneakers. No wonder he's been a muse to tons of streetwear brands.

Record: 56-5, 37 KO
Career: 1960-1981

Muhammad Ali was the definition of effortless. He jaunted around the boxing ring and declared his own success. He never felt the need to dress too stylish, but let his legend affirm his status as one of the best-dressed boxers. He wore clothes that were appropriate for the situation and never too complex. Ali knew what worked for him, and even secured a Louis Vuitton ad in recent years. But what makes him stylish is that he stood for something greater than clothes.

Record: 53-11-9, 34 KO
Career: 1897-1931

America hated Jack Johnson. He trash talked in the ring, wore huge furs and tailored suits, drove fast cars, and dated white women. The term "Great White Hope" was birthed from the anger that Johnson's opulent lifestyle arose in white Americans, and they desired to see a white man best him in the ring. Johnson intentionally flaunted everything he had, and there was nothing anyone could do about it.
