Prince Naseem Hamed. I don't care what your religious affiliation or what side of the political spectrum you side with, I couldn't stand him in 1995, but ever since the hate died down i around 2009 and his fights were uploaded on YouTube, I have become a massive fan of this guy.
It's now 2021 and I never get bored of going through his entire backlog of fights every year. And I'm not talking about his ring entrances. It's the whole package. He delivered the goods. He wasn't just a poser. I've seen every Ali, Tyson, RJJ, Duran, Hagler fights and even watched nearly every UFC event since Mcgregor vs Aldo.....brilliant fights, but do they beat the Prince for entertainment - not even close.
I recently purchased a collection of his fights on DVD because some of the fights on YouTube are either 360p to 480p and horribly pixelated, the best boxing purchase I've made to date. I literally watched all his fights in one sitting for the 20th time and was thoroughly riveted.
Sky has started to release his fights on YouTube in HD, I recommend the Robinson fight in 1080p.
And for any haters who say "Barrera schooled him tho", IDGAF. You're just undermining one of Barrera's greatest victories.
Before I opened the thread, I'm thinking of Hamed, Tyson, Mayorga and Agustus. Seems Mayorga didn't make it :D
Gatti and Provodnikov would have been entertaining in and outside the ring if they act like Mayorga.
Prince Naseem Hamed, Nigel Benn, Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali 'Whether it be the fights they were involved in, style or character they were all entertaining'.
Prince Naseem Hamed was just a natural superstar, there has been no fighter since his retirement 'Who has emulated his style inside the ring or outside'.

This guy has a LOT of robberies on his record.
"My quarrel is not with you sir, but with the laws of physics!"
Absolutely The Rubberman Emanuel Augustus: the world's first and only surrealist boxer. Is his winning? Losing? Getting robbed? Dancing? Fighting and dancing? Does he even care if he wins?
There's only one of that guy! If he'd ever even had a manager he could have been a world champion at 140.

This guy got my respect in the Floyd fight. One of my favorite fights.

In my personal opinion it’s between Roy and Naz. Speed, power and unique styles. My two favourite fighters to watch.
He had nothing on young Mike Tyson, imo but I'm a hw fan.
This
Was NOT a Mike fan but his fights were very ''entertaining''
The violence and the voice always got me lol'ing
