What fighter is the most entertaining to watch, and just for the hell of it, who is the most boring?
My votes are for Erik Morales as the most excitign and who else but Ruiz would be the most boring.
Acre is not bad, a bit too slow for my taste though considering his weight class. His fight with hussein, although brutal didnt seem anywhere as ferocious as pac vs morales. Perhaps cos the speed and power is clear.
i will have to say mayweather for most exciting because he is slick and a boxing skill master. anyone can slug but not many will fight with skill like floyd.
I agree that Winky will make it to the end but I think he will barely make it to the end. Winky's jab is all I hear from people who pick Winky to win. Only one person has beaten Tito with a consistent jab. Tito has been jabbed many times and has made it past all those jabs with the exception of his only loss. Speaking of that loss, it took much more than defense and a jab to beat Tito. It took a great performance to convincingly beat Tito. That performance included alot of movement which I haven't seen Winky do in years. Actually I haven't seen Winky do that much moving ever. Without that kind of movement Winky would need enough power to keep Tito off of him. Winky doesn't have the kind of power that's going to keep Tito off of him. Winky doesn't have to fall into the trap of thinking he can take Tito's power because he will feel that power. Tito will pump the lefthook around Winky's guard.
I'm thinking Winky will come into this fight with a different gameplan. His corner will likely see his weaknesses like we see them and instruct him to move around a whole lot more. If he does move around and work his jab and defend well, I don't see any reason why he doesn't have a chance at getting a decision.
Félix Trinidad won't know what to do in the face of Winky's excellent jab, his excellent defense, and his patience in the ring. In my opinion, if Joppy didn't get foolish in the ring he could have made it to the end. Winky will make it to the end, but in order for him to win on the cards he's going to have to win 9 rounds or more, and even that's not certain, but you'll see...Come fight time, Trinidad is going to clearly get outboxed. Winky isn't going to fall into the trap of thinking he can take Trinidad's power.

I would have to go with Manny Pacquiao right now. No one out there at the top level of the sport has been scoring so many knock outs over top flight opposition as Pacquiao. The honor used to belong to Gatti, but his one-sided bouts with Dorin and Leija have made him slip in this regard.
pacman...barrera...mayweather...tszyu...mayorga...trinidad...morales
if this was a couple years ago, you could've added....gatti, klitschko, corrales, freitas
Morales always exciting to watch, but Floyd just gets the nod because I love watching the sweet science,and Mayweather has the skills to pay the bills.
I wouldn't call Tito elite. He's very one dimensional, and he fights people who seem to want to prove something (They can withstand his power). All he has is a big left.
Most exciting, maybe Pacquiao. I don't know.
Most boring is definitely Ruiz.
You wouldn't call Tito elite? Tito has only one loss out of 42 fights and I think about half of those 42 fights are title fights. If all he has is a big left then go ask Mayorga, Vargas and Joppy about the straight right from Tito.
To answer the question I would say Tito is the most exciting. The most boring would have to be John Ruiz.
