I used to be a big boxing fan but haven't been following the science for the last few years. Watched Marquez KO pacquiao recently, golovkin vs macklin and a few Friday night fights replays and I'm getting interested in following boxing again but I don't know who's exciting to watch. To put it into perspective, I am more familiar with guys like lennox lewis, john ruiz, roy Jones, Oscar, Vargas, Mosley, trinidad, hopkins, winky wright, zab Judah, Barrera, morales, pretty boy floyd, and that era. Nowadays I recognize the klitschkos, Floyd, cotto, pacquiao, and Juan Manuel Marquez but not much more. I see people talking about canelo Alvarez, Sergio Martinez, gennady golovkin, adrien broner and Andre ward and I was wondering who else is good? And what are some good fights to watch from the last couple years?
Watch Denis Lebedev vs Guillermo Jones if you want to see brutality that is reminiscent of stuff unseen since the 1950's.
I'll watch that one first then :headbang:

Watched both rios Alvarado fights, berto vs Ortiz, maidana vs Lopez, rigondeuax vs donaire, khan vs Garcia, and matthysse vs Lamont Peterson. Damn there's some exciting boxers out there right now! And I don't remember seeing a division so stacked like 140 is right now
Thanks guys. Just watched Timothy Bradley vs provodnikov and man was that a great fight! Will try watch the other ones tonight as well
watch berto vs Ortiz and Rios vs Alvarado, and Maidana vs Lopez if you enjoyed Bradley vs Ruslan
