top 10 most exciting fighters in the world of all time..

*muhamad ali *mike tyson *manny pacquaio *floyd mayweather *roy jones jr. *thomas hearns *sugar ray leonard *bernard hopkins *oscar de lahoya *jack dempsey

A few that didn't seem to get much attention: Alexis Arguello - His come from behind victory over Olivares, the two incredible wars with Escelera, the exciting battles with the likes of Boom Boom Mancini, Bazooka Limon, Bobby Chacon, Ruben Castillo, Andy Ganigan, & the final wars with Aaron Pryor; one of the most exciting of all time, as well as one of the best. Marvellous Marvin Hagler: the war with Hearns alone should get him here - probably the most exciting 3 rounds of all time; but also had some great battles with the likes of Sibson, Hamsho, Roldan & Mugabi. Kostya Tszyu: Explosive fighter, with one of the deadliest rights of all time, Tszyu was in some wildly exciting fights - Judah, Hurtado, Rodriguez, & Lopez probably the most exciting, but some other performances were pretty excellent. & finally, & probably most unpopularly, Joe Calzaghe. An in-form, focused Calzaghe is one of the most exciting fighters out there, with punches coming from all angles, & an absolutely incredible pace. His battles with the likes of Byron Mitchell, Charles Brewer & Omar Sheika were wildly exciting stuff, & he's put in some other great performances as well./QUOTE] I don't share your enthusiasum, my friend. I just think Joe is a just above average boxer who stayed out of the limelight until Jeff Lacy, and given Jeff Lacy's last performance, we shouldn't see it as such an achievement what Joe to Lacy. Joe has to step up and fight quality opposition. He needs to fly over to the States and kick it there. There was a good documentary on here (I'm in the UK) called No Average Joe, and there was some dude from the US talking about how Joe has dodged everyone - Hopkins, Tarver, Jones. It kinda rung a bell with me. I hate to see people fail, but I also hate to see people milking the press. Nine years as world champ ain't that good if you only fought two good blokes in the last nine years (Lacy and Eubank). Just my two cents. Ian

It was not an exile, it was a banning...and how about...Liston I or II, how about Ernire "What's my name" Terrel...or the interesting fight with Henry Cooper the terrell fight was average. the cooper fight was interesting. neither liston fight was especially exciting (how could the rematch be?). if i saw the fight live it'd be different due to the magnitude but it's not an especially good action fight.

Exciting right? Not runners, movers,.... I would def include Tito and Wilfredo Gomez in that list. Other 8 have been mentioned earlier.

Im gonna give an HM to Jirov I like that tough little bastard

I like each fighter for different reasons. Hard to make a list. 1.) Tyson 2,) Robinson 3.) Hearns 4.) Haggler 5.) Leonard 6.) Ali 7.) Marciano 8.) Meldrick Taylor (God forbid someone thinks Jermain) 9.) Pryor 10.) Frazier

that was his only title defense in his 1st reign that was entertaining to me, from start to finish. the others before his exile, and even quite a few after them, you would get to see some amazing things, but you had to sit through a boring fight to get to those things.

His career before the 3 years banning, he was dynamite...his Cleveland Williams fight was a sight to see....his hitting % that night needed to be close to 80% ridiculous!! that was his only title defense in his 1st reign that was entertaining to me, from start to finish. the others before his exile, and even quite a few after them, you would get to see some amazing things, but you had to sit through a boring fight to get to those things.

create your lists.. what cha got? Just exciting? Well, in no particular order... Stanley Ketchel Hank Armstrong Rocky Graziano Jack Dempsey Jimmy Wilde Battling Siki Mickey Walker Harry Greb Pancho Villa Battling Nelson Ad Wolgast Joe Louis Ted "Kid" Lewis Ray Robinson Beau Jack Carmen Basilio Kid Gavilan Max Baer Ruben Carter Roberto Duran Aaron Pryor Ruben Olivares Ray Leonard Thomas Hearns Marvin Hagler ...oh good grief, there are too many for me to list.

Ali was only exciting to me later in his career when he was more hittable, and against certain styles such as Frazier in 2 of their 3 fights, Foreman, Spinks I, and Shavers. most of his fights are dull to me, especially in his first reign as champ, barring the williams fight. in order to get to the brilliant things he did, you have to sit through a whole lot of stink in watching his fights before seeing them. He was a million times more entertaining a personality than he was a fighter.

This is interesting....defining "Exciting" as KO or speedy or flashy...how are you defining it.... If we going for KO: 1. Marciano 2. Foreman 3. Wilfredo Gomez/Olivarez 4. Shavers 5. Hearns 6. Marvin Johnson/Saad Muhammad 7. Vladdy 8. Bob Foster 9. Frazier 10. Graziano/JCC Flash Defence Speed: 1. Cassius Marcelus Clay 2. SRR 3. Henry Armstron 4. Sweet Pea 5. Wil O Whisp 6. Meldrik Taylor 7. Wilfred Benitez 8. Aaron Pryor 9. Nico Loche 10. PBF/RJJ

I'll just post some people that I haven't seen others list with a quick glance. Frazier Duran Vitali Klitschko Lennox Lewis Pernell Whitaker

In no particular order: 1. Ray Robinson 2. Carmen Basilio 3. Jake LaMotta 4. Arturo Gatti 5. Muhammad Ali 6. Mike Tyson 7. Nigel Benn 8. Ray Mancini 9. Ray Leonard 10. Jack Dempsey

As a Brit, you don't find Hamed more exciting than Benn? Or how about the antics of Chris Eubank in the ring? hamed was a bit of a showoff who thought he was alot etter than he was! eubank was different and very interesting to watch but benn was amazing if he got hurt you knew his opponent was about to get KO'd! he had wars with everyone Ali was very exciting as was morrison frazier tyson dempsey holyfield(funny how he used to be considered boring) foreman hearns both sugar rays i could go on!
