In these times there is a lot of talk about boring fighters ( even if they win ) IE. Hopkins, Mayweather, the Klits, Rigo...etc. ( personally I like all styles ) ....any way here's my top 5 I miss watching.
5. Naseem Hamed- the front flip in the run, the entrance, the crazy angle punches and show boating. Whew!
4. Marco Antonio Barrera - technically sound with hardly any flaws, he reminded of a angry kid that did not want to be the last one hit...he'd hit you every time you hit him..lol
3. Arturo Gatti (RIP)- blood and guts got him on my list even though he wasn't the most talented..fun to watch.
2- Felix Trinidad - the guy was awesome, he was electric and a constant danger, never thought it was over with him, because of his power and work rate.
1. Roy Jones Jr. - in this day where guys are so " superior", they win boring, but he was so superior he won in exciting fashion! The gifted one.
Notable mentions to - Kevin Kelly, exciting and fast with a lot of pride and Julio. Cesar Chavez- the man was a boxing robot but in a good way ( with respect to Wifred Benitez, JCC was the bible of boxing too.)
Who do you guys got and why?
Prime Mosley, Morales, James Toney, Naseem Hamed and most of all Roy Jones. Jones was my inspiration to study the sport and watch more closely of what goes on in the ring
Ike Ibiabuchi could have been an atg. Not many heavyweights could throw that many punches a round, or fight, or ever.
I guarantee he would've went down as the best HW of our generation.
He would've beat Bowe, Holyfield, Lewis, Tyson. I know it.

Kind of liked watching Margarito get his face punched in as he smiled...similar to El Perro except that Angulo is likable....don't enjoy seeing Angulo punched around the ring as he continues to come forward taking punishment.
Ill go of the last 20 years since I started waching boxing in the late 90's.
1. Barrera
2. Trinidad
3. James Toney at a high level
4. Paul Williams
