Who do you think is the most exciting fighter in each division?
How is Haye -- a guy who hardly throws a punch in 12 rounds and flops to the floor as part of his game plan -- exciting?
For that matter, what's exciting about fighting ONCE in TWO YEARS?
Well you've obviously only seen one of his fights. That would be the same as me saying why is Klitschko the best when he gets ko'd everytime he fights.
For the record, Haye threw more than 40 power shots per round in his last fight. More than Wlad has ever thrown in any of his fights.
Can go with this list a long way, but would swap Hopkins with Kovalev, Ward with Froch and delete Bradley off anything to do with entertainment.
Klitschko > Haye entertainment wise... I've heard it all now.
HW = Haye (fastest heavyweight)
CW = Nobody (division sucks)
LHW = Hopkins (he's nearly 50 and can still dish out boxing lessons)
SMW = Ward (derails hypejobs)
MW = GGG/Quillin
LMW = Floyd (GOAT skills on display)
WW = Khan (there's always a chance he does the chicken dance)
LWW = Danny/Bradley
LW = Broner (the next big P4P #1 after Floyd)
SFW = Rocky (durable warrior)
FW = Mares/Garcia/Salido
SBW = Santa Cruz (strings together the cleanest combo's)
BW = Nobody (division sucks)

I wanted to pick Khan and Broner but they're both moved up to WW now and neither have fought yet.
good point, plus Pacquiao is still active in that division and has been for some time now the most consistently exciting fighter in boxing, if his fights are boring its the opponent who makes it boring like Bradley, Clottey Mosley, all being defensive or running away with the flicking jab to keep pacman at bay.
Good list man I pretty much agree with it.
I would throw in Adrien Broner there, I don't care for his persona but the guy is a finisher and exciting to watch he doesn't run either.

CW - Afolabi (always brings it! Funny personality!)
LHW - Stevenson (not going to lie, he won me over with that one punch! Hope to see more!)
SMW - Froch (Always in a good fight, plus love to see his partner ringside! No complaints! ;) )
MW - Golovkin (He's a beast!!!)
LM - Cotto ( has a warrior's heart, even though his body is no where keeping up!)
WW - Pacquiao (Always entertaining! Even w recent slipping)
JWW - Matthysse/Rios (both crazy scary hard hitting warriors!)
LW - Figguerero (His youtube highlights are all quick=one round ko's!)
SF - Uchiyama (Ko artist)
F - Mares (self explainatory)
SB - Donaire (Never in a boring fight in recent memory)

Agree with most of the list.
As limited as he is, I enjoy Marco Huck fights. The guy has a decent chin and, for half a round, at least, he throws punches in bunches.
Also, in before 'fans' claim Haye is the most 'exciting' in the HW division.
