who do you think it was? ill say muhammed ali

ali was a great technical boxer, he was excitin dnt get me wrong, but da likes of gatti, early barera, hagler, tyson etc etc is true excitment!

how the hell was ali exciting in comparison to there other boxers like Gatti, Tyson, liston, foreman, frazier and so on. brawlers and ppl who cum forward are exciting, not runners

i can only mention the boxers i grew up watching. the most exciting was young tyson.

and of course manny pacquiao! hahaha!

Nigel Benn by far. Ali is nowhere near.

ali was a great technical boxer
What? Ali was many things, but a great technical boxer he wasn't!

For consistantly supplying the highest levels of both unbelievable drama and tremendous excitement in pretty much every single one of their fights, the "Schoolboy" Bobby Chacon & Matthew Saad Muhammad would be my top two choices for this category.

Arturo Who?

the most exciting boxer ever was definately not a heavyweight.

Matthew Saad Muhammad !

Miracle Matthew.....is my choice.

He was every bit as dramatic a fighter as Gatti, except he was a better fighter, facing the far better opposition.

muhammed ali was different to most heavyweights anyway, because he would actually move rather then just walk about slowly like louis, gatti was a great exciting fighter and young tyson, i wouldnt say liston hes slow.

i wouldnt say liston hes slow.

Liston wasn't "slow", man, and if you actually believe that then you might want to check out the footage available of him from about four or five years before the Ali fights. By that time he had slowed down quite a bit and it wouldn't be fair to judge him for that reason, and also comparing him to what is arguably the quickest Heavyweight of all-time...

The Sonny Liston who fought from 1958-1961 was very noticably quicker than the one who later fought Ali, as he threw a very snappy & quick left jab, as well as a very snappy (powerful!) & quick lead left hook. Sure, his right hand wasn't as fast as his left, as he seemed to telegraph it before throwing it (there was usually a short pause with it, it seemed). But his left hand, and even his footwork & reflexes were all pretty quick in his prime.

By no means am I saying Liston was one of the fastest Heavyweights in history...but the best Sonny Liston was a helluva long way from being "slow"!

I agree. Most people tend to judge Liston based upon his fights with Ali. Let's not forget that a deep case of depression had sunk in by that time.

For excitement, early Tyson has got to be up there. And even later in his career, you would still watch him hoping to catch a glimpse of that old explosiveness.

Roy Jones Jr. was pretty hilarious to watch in his earlier bouts as well. Walking around like a chicken; reeling off 9 punch combos that all landed in different spots; etc.

Muhammad Ali was actually quite the opposite of exciting. He danced away and barely threw any punches until the mid-to-late rounds. Although he was exciting in the 70's when his speed left him, and he had to use his wits to win. Watching him take down a dangerous George Foreman was kind of exciting.

you seen his fight with cleveland williams mate? that fight was fuking amazing, he showed everyone that he was an AMAZING boxer, that fight was exciting, the way you saw his ring dominance, it was just poetry.

ali kept moving in his fights, not standing still like most fighters, he kept up the rhythm.

Tyson, Frazier, and Dempsey are all noted as 3 of the most exciting fighters in history.

ali by far. he's the michael jordan of boxing. he changed the way alot of hw's fought. he moved like a lightweight, and pumped quick jabs and leads with ease, and the way he moved back from punches was fun to watch.

Iron Mike Tyson. The Michael Jordan
Of Boxing. Phenomenal

Iron Mike Tyson. The Michael Jordan
Of Boxing. Phenomenal

so i suppose jordan is a joke now, and he rapes and beats women haha!

Dempsey and Tyson were far and away the most exciting fighters in history. Both set the gold standard for income in their days, meaning they had a huge fan base and both dominated the media and not without coincidence, both fought in a similar style, taking on larger men and destroying them.

Ali was exciting, made bukoos of dinero, and dominated the media also, but he had some of the most boring and ridiculous fights ever, some real stinkers.

How can anyone leave off Duran? Anyway, here's my list Duran, Tyson, RJJ, and Chacon. I've haven't gotten the chance to see any of Saad Muhammad's fights.

Marciano, Ali, LaMotta, Tyson, Leonard, and Frazier.

Ali certainly was the most entertaining fighter I have witnessed. The way he handled the media , opponents and the world audience makes him the "Greatest"

But the question was "Most Exciting" undoubtedly young Mike Tyson. You were afraid to blink because you would miss some of the most evciting action to ever hit the ring! :boxing:

actually marciano's pretty boring up until he knocks you out

Nigel Benn
Arturo Gatti
Erik Morales
Ray Robinson (not all the time)
Matthew Saad Muhammad

Ray Robinson
Jack Dempsey
Mike Tyson
Joe Frazier
Marvin Hagler

Ali wasn't as entertaining in the ring as the other mentioned, but the way he built up fights (especially the Frazier fights and the first Liston fight) made you want to see them.

LaMotta,Graziano,Marciano,Sugar Ray Robinson,Duran,Joe Frazier,Tyson,Gatti,Micky Ward,Pacquiao,Ali,Max Baer...not in that order but all exciting fighters to watch. Actually there are a lot more for me to name but these came to mind quickest.

Homicide Hank Armstrong. He made Aaron Pryor look economical.

Thomas Hearns

can anyone give me some Matthew Saad Muhammad fight links?

Nigel Benn by far. Ali is nowhere near.

Hell yeah!!

so i suppose jordan is a joke now, and he rapes and beats women haha!

Tyson was cool.

What? Ali was many things, but a great technical boxer he wasn't!

i meant great technician at what he did! i love wochin his fights, he was amazin, he was about da best boxer ever!

but excitement is about knokouts, blood, heart! im not sayin ali didnt show his heart or chin, eg frazier, foreman etc, but ppl like gatti, hagler, dempsey took shots in order to land their own, dey had 1punch KO power, and went forward chasin der oponents! dats my kind of excitement!

Hagler vs Hearns was the ****ing most exciting fight EVER.

My personal most exciting boxer was Nigel Benn, the Dark Destroyer. He had us British people captivated. All the big punchers like Foreman, Tyson etc were exciting.

Leonard was my favorite. I think the 80's had some exciting fighters.
Hagler
Hearns
Pryor
Oh yeah can't forget about Tyson!

Every decade had it's moments in terms of exciting fighters/fights.

50's - Marciano, Louis etc
60's - Liston, Patterson, Ali
70's - I don't think I need to back this up.
80's - Hagler, Tyson, Hearns
90's - Benn, Eubank, Mclellan, Jackson, Holyfield
2000's - Calzaghe, Lacy, Pemberton, Hatton

Yeah, I missed a ****load out. so ****.

Tyson was cool.

yeah, but tyson jr. was comparing him to jordan, which is pure blasphemy!

http://www.motivational-celebrity-speakers.com/players/michaeljordan.gif

**** no. Michael Jordan was simply the best for 99% of his career. Tyson was for 4 years.

who do you think it was? ill say muhammed ali

Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson

ali had more excitement in one finger, then tyson had in his whole body!

Hardly. Tyson was funner to watch.

tyson sometimes was v.dull, he didn't move as much as ali and most of his fights were ****. after 1989

Tyson was good if you wanted to watch a Technical brawl, Ali was great if you wanted to see fighters who were thought to be invincible get owned!

Ali was entertaining outside the ring but his fights rarely were exciting. Watch Ali fights with Young, Lyle, Wepner etc. Even today hw-s can be more exciting.
Tyson was one of the most exciting fighters. Tommy Hearns and Ray Leonard were exciting also. And I'm not slugfest fan.

roy jones jr easily has the most exciting style.. next come floyd mayweather

I'd have to go with Matthew Saad Muhammad.

Jack Dempsey hands down imo.

The Willard, Firpo, Tunney fights Both of em, and the Sharkey fight were pretty amazing to watch. The only downer of his fights that were FILM, and MADE it, is maybe Gibbions.

Marciano was pretty fun, Walcott 1, Charles 1 and 2. And the Moore fight, The only fight that was borning, imo is maybe the ****ell fight for the first 3 or so rounds.

Louis was pretty amazing with his knockouts.

So was Micky Walker, who is a exciting fighter.


Hagler, Hearns, Duran that bunch.

Lacy, is there 2, So is Gatti. and Ward.
Gene Fullmer was a thrill to watch.
And so was Liston in his prime.

Joe Fraizer 2, It was not Ali that made thsos fights great, It was Frazier, he brought the drama to thsos fights.

Ali was entertaining outside the ring but his fights rarely were exciting. Watch Ali fights with Young, Lyle, Wepner etc. Even today hw-s can be more exciting.
Tyson was one of the most exciting fighters. Tommy Hearns and Ray Leonard were exciting also. And I'm not slugfest fan.

you're forgetting one thing. those fights were past his prime. watch ali from 1960-1967. those fights were exciting, cause he moved fast and hit his opponents at will. even the quarry and bonavena fights in 1970 were very exciting.

Iron Mike Tyson. The Michael Jordan
Of Boxing. Phenomenal
you gotta be kidding!

to me its the greatest muhammad ali http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c13/oasis_lad/a289e37e.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c13/oasis_lad/57b62d54.jpg

great choice!

EASY pic.

Iron Mike.
Tell me, who else made so many fans for himself in such a short time? Tyson destroying fighters was just exciting.

Muhammed Ali did that in 1 year knocking out ALL of his first 15 opponents?

Muhammad Ali for me. Coming from nowhere to take the championship. Perhaps the greatest upset of all time, you NEVER knew what the man was going to next, he was charismatic and watching him interact with his opponents was extremely exciting. For me, on this completely subjective matter its Ali

You guys don't know **** it was Frank Bruno come on!

Muhammed Ali did that in 1 year knocking out ALL of his first 15 opponents?

ali bumrushed his way into stardon by early 1962. he was selling all his fights, and in all his matches, the stadiums were packed. can tyson top that? i don't think so.

Joe Louis, Max Baer, Joe Frazier, Sugar Ray Robinson.

ali bumrushed his way into stardon by early 1962. he was selling all his fights, and in all his matches, the stadiums were packed. can tyson top that? i don't think so.

Ofcource, Tyson sold all his fights and became known in a year. Who else didn't wanna see a monster knocking guys out in 1 round. Not one fighter was as exciting as a young Mike Tyson. No way.

i beg to differ. a young cassius clay sold way more tickets and attracted more fans than tyson can ever dream of.

I don't agree.
Tyson had boxingfans AND causual boxing fans. For one reason, watching him punch a guys head off :p . That's what people want to see.

cassius clay basically trash-talked his way to a title shot, no one had ever seen an athlete act like that, and that made more people come to see him fight.

wow we're going offtopic i think.
Its not about how many people wanted to see Ali or Tyson. Its about the most exciting fighter.

i've seen those fights in the 60's boooooooooooooooring :(

cassius clay basically trash-talked his way to a title shot, no one had ever seen an athlete act like that, and that made more people come to see him fight.

plus tyson didnt have a gold medal like your boy alit. which made tyson even more special and unique. he didnt have the career starter upper like ali did with the gold medal but he was still well kknown in a year.and tyason even when not doing hot was always on ppv's if ali started to get sorry he defiantly would not be a ppv person.

but look who tyson had to go through, trevor friggin' berbick. look who clay had to go through, "the big bear" charles "sonny" liston, the most intimidating fighter in history. think tyson could've beat liston for the title, i don't think so!

plus tyson didnt have a gold medal like your boy alit. ;)

that was a light hw gold medal. doesn't mean anything if you're fighting in the hw division.

wow we're going offtopic i think.
Its not about how many people wanted to see Ali or Tyson. Its about the most exciting fighter.

yeah, :hijacked:

Mike Tyson without a doubt, and I am far from a Tyson fan. Mike Tyson vs Ali? Kind of like a summer blockbuster vs a critically acclaimed masterpiece. Generally speaking, the summer blockbuster is more entertaining/exciting to watch, at least for the moment, while the critically acclaimed masterpiece is the more enduring due to its technical merits.

there is no way in hell that the most exiting boxer ever was a heavyweight. i dont know who it was but that division shouldnt even be mentioned.

Earnie Shavers is my most exciting 70 wins with 66 by KO. I also thought Micheal Nunn, Ray Leonard, Roy Jones, Mike Tyson, and Mickey Ward were exciting.

i see this is your first post. welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the greeting.

Thanks for the greeting.

glad to do it.

I like Mike Tyson, no one ever brought such anticipation to a fight as he did, I loved to watch sugar Ray Leonard fight too. He was lightning fast and had great combinations.....

Muhammad Ali wasn't as tremendously exciting in the ring as others like Tyson, but he was overall the most exciting fighter.

.........No offense intended man, seriously, I'm not like that. But did you really think Michael Nunn was exciting? He's on my all-time list of most BORING fighters.

To each his own, I suppose. :D

Their where loads of exciting boxers i think it would be hard to pin point the actual best ever…

Their where loads of exciting boxers i think it would be hard to pin point the actual best ever…

just look at your avatar....there you go! :D

Lewis WAS exciting before he fought Oliver.

Joe Louis had it all and he did it pretty dam well. It was fun watching him.

Roy Jones is the second most exciting fighter in my book.

Ali was exciting when he was dancing.

Tyson was the most exciting.

young tyson

ali... there you go.

Watch Ali against Young or even Lyle to see damn boring fight. Ali needed others to create agression. Put two Ali's together and you get boring boxing contest.
Big part from Ali's excitement and greatness lays outside the ring.

Exciting fighters? All from fabulous four: Hearns, Leonard, Duran, Hagler.

KO artists are exciting fighters, Tyson and Jackson. Watching John Mugabi before Hagler fight was pretty exciting, only that fights were so short. :)

Powerpunches is what createst excitement. Nobody rather wants to see a jab than a powerfull left hook.
Therefor Tyson :D

fuccc mike tyson its ali man

3time champ
fastest hands ever
beat great fighters like norton frazer and forman

fuccc mike tyson its ali man

3time champ
fastest hands ever
beat great fighters like norton frazer and forman

da thread is not about 'greatest' fighter its about the most exciting!! so beatin great fighters dnt make u exciting!

dnt get me rong i like wochin ali's fights, i rate dem!

but people like tyson dempsey naseem were more exciting to woch! naz had stupidly unorthodox skill mixed with 1punch KO power whereas tyson n dempsey seeked and destroyed!! it was al gud!

safe

I always like the "Killed or be Killed" of Jack Dempsey or the "Never Quit" of Fraizer and Marciano type of styles to the sport.

Dempsey was my favorite of all time, I have his autograph on a popcorn bag my grandpa had when he saw him refereeing at a wrestling match. Tyson was the most anticipated fighter of the recent time though, I think when i was younger people watched Ali hoping he would get knocked out because of his ****iness, but that guy had the best chin of all time.....

Dont think Ali had the best chin,

Chavlo was NEVER drop, even vs Fraizer and Foreman,
Ross was never knockout in over 80 or so fights.
Lamotta face the big punchers of the middleweights, and was never drop when WELL pass his best.

Jim Jeffies of couse was never drop until Jack Johnson.
Might as well add in Joe Grim, he may have LOST evey fight he had, but a guy in the middleweight range, going the distant with Jack Johnson, and other heavyweights, has to count for something to regards to chin. Sad to say, he never won a fight, but was knockout when well PAST his prime(Well past his prime I guess??)

Gans, also had a good chin, the McGoven fight was a fix. And he was dieing when he was knockout for real.

Fullmer, outside of the Robinson rematch, was never knockout.
And that was called the PERFECT punch.
Micky Walker, a Middleweight going 8 rounds with puncher Max Schmling, who was a heavyweight. And Schmling did not knockout Walker thought. His conor stop the fight. Walker may have been killed, the guy had heart.

this is off top of my hand.

You brought up some great fighters, but the more you think about it, Ali was hit a lot for a guy that was so unhittable. Even in his early days he got hit a lot, I am not sure if he had the best chin ever but I think people should watch a lot of his fights and you would be surprised how many times he got hit. After his come back from suspension he was hit in fights against slow moving opponents(Norton), I still say he was very beatable....

what r u talking aobut man

beating great fighters makes u exciting cuz n e body can beat up bumms but ali made guys look like bumms when they was beating every body else!

man i seen dempsey and he is BORING except his fight with willard! his other fight was punch hold miss hold!

tyson was good too but not like ali. tyson kos bumms and looks good but holyfeild and douglass beat him to death and hes nothing for the rest of his carrer!

watch alis 6 hit combos and folley fell face first to the mat. he made liston quit after liston missed him for 6 rounds when he wass blind. he hit c williams so many times he was trying to walk to the wrong corner lol

i thik ali is the most exciting ever but every body has there favorites i see.

holmes couldnt ko ali but jeffers gets ko by johnson and he has a better chin than ali?

all the rest og the guys u talk about are not hws so when did they ever get hit by frazer or forman? thats weak.

whatever man

holmes couldnt ko ali but jeffers gets ko by johnson and he has a better chin than ali?

i would say ali is #4 in chin, under chuvalo, foreman, and frazier, in that order.

GLOBE199 - ok den, lets just say sum1 jabbed his way to unifyin da heavyweight division with ease, u wud call him excitin, yet sum who knokd ppl out and got hurt himself but also unified is boring????

im not talkin about any boxer, just sayin hypothetically!

if the jaber was knocking ppl out while he wass unifying then he would be just as exciting or more exciting. remeber ali was KTFOing ppl left and right.

was roy jones jr boring? nuff said. :boxing:

yea but hes saying damn MIDDLEWIEGHTS AND LIGHTWIEGHTS have better chins than ali lol

thats ridiculous!

yeah, that is pretty stupid.

I'm not saying he's the most exciting fighter ever....but I want to give him his due for being a super-exciting warrior...

MARVIN JOHNSON.

This late 70's-early 80's, 175lb.southpaw went to war, throwing his awesome left hand (especially his uppercut) non-stop, with power.
He took a lot of punches doing so.....which made his fights total wars, at times. He was a fantastic amateur....showing serious skills, but left those days behind him when he turned pro.
His two fights with Saad Muhammad rank amongst the most brutal in history.
He came back & won the Lt.Heavy crown for a third time, & was still going toe-to-toe with the best 175lbers, years after his best days.

A kill-or-be-killed fighter....a warrior.

if the jaber was knocking ppl out while he wass unifying then he would be just as exciting or more exciting. remeber ali was KTFOing ppl left and right.

was roy jones jr boring? nuff said. :boxing:

i werent refering to him, cos i do think ali was exciting BUT ppl like tyson, gatti, hagler were so much more exciting! dats my damn point!

Yes, Butterfly.

Most exciting boxer of all time = my avatar. 44-3 (42ko's) 3 division world champ, 17 straight KO title defenses, 33 straight KO wins. :D

to see him get his ass kicked from all the **** he talked :D

yeah, that's true too, but if he was boring to begin with, nobody would come to see him fight, no matter how much trash he talked.

y u have to take things so literaly???? ur a joke mate! ur like a lil kid!

and he hardly ever did use his jab which u agreed on, so il ask again y u gota take it so literaly! ur a fool man!

arturo gatti...

i guess u cant be called "the human highlight reel" for nuthin...

Well in my opion Roy Jones Jr, Tyson, Whitaker, Ali.


The guys that the general public thinks are the greatest (Tyson, Roy Jones etc) are usually going to be on this list.

The very reason that the general public thinks they are the greatest is precisely because of how exciting they are.

What? Ali was many things, but a great technical boxer he wasn't!

Ofcourse he was, "great technical boxer" does not necessarily mean "orthodox boxer".

Leonard
Roy Jones Junior
Mike Tyson
Ali
ODLH (his paycheks talk themselves :) )

I should say this is rather a matter of taste. Personally i think young Foreman was definetly fun to watch, and some may find the hugging and pushing of the early 1900s exciting...

Believe it or not, I think Mike Tyson was the most exciting boxer ever. I was on the edge of my chair for every one of his matches.

Well Muhammad Ali was the most entertaining sports figure to have ever lived.

But for the most exciting boxer of all time, this probably differs with everyone, but i think most would say Iron Mike Tyson.

Tommy Hearns, Matthew Saad Muhammad, Nigel Benn, Diego Corrales, Charles Brewer, Arturo Gatti....there are many exciting fighters and the ones i named are just the ones from recent memory.

People watched Mike Tyson to see him knocking *****es out.
People watched Muhammad Ali to see him getting knocked out.

who do you think it was? ill say muhammed ali

Who wouldn't say he wasn't. I'd have to pick Iron Mike. Mike just laid people out with such explosion.

Exciting Fighters
Mike
Sugar Ray Leonard
ALI
Mayweather (yes he is for all you haters)
Bernard Hopkins
PW
Paco
Hatton
Lights Out
SRR

Not saying the best, but for pure excitement I would pick out Nigel Benn, Gatti, Tommy Hearns and Joe Frazier. Put a gun to my head.....Nigel Benn

For consistantly supplying the highest levels of both unbelievable drama and tremendous excitement in pretty much every single one of their fights, the "Schoolboy" Bobby Chacon & Matthew Saad Muhammad would be my top two choices for this category.

Arturo Who?

Thank you. Nice to see someone who knows about the sport.

Pacquiao is damn exciting

Mike Tyson
Thomas Hearns


It's sort of hard for me to list fighters not from my generation that were exciting since I never got to see them live. (I never even got to see Mike live or Hearns since I wasn't into boxing in the early 90's)

for me this is easy, theres 3, RJJ, prince naseem and emanuel augustus (purely because hes funny). for the likes of ali he was good to watch but not exciting, for a heavyweight i suppose you could say he was but so were brawlers like marciano.

ive never watched mathew saad muhammad, but i will

Who wouldn't say he wasn't. I'd have to pick Iron Mike. Mike just laid people out with such explosion.

Exciting Fighters
Mike
Sugar Ray Leonard
ALI
Mayweather (yes he is for all you haters)
Bernard Hopkins
PW
Paco
Hatton
Lights Out
SRR

Tommy Hearns. You never knew what would happen.
