      I talking about any fighter that was at least on tv. I got Scott Pemberton based on his 2 wars with Omar Shieka and 1 with Charles Brewer. If you haven't seen those fights, find them!

          The end of his career was around 89 or 90 I think, so yeah. His last hurrah was against Phillip Holiday in the early 90's where he was easily beaten.But he was a truly exciting fighter too.

          Throw Jeff Harding in the mix. I can't recall him ever being in a bad fight and his wars with Andries were epic!

            Tyson - He lit up the sport and devasted a division, a force of nature

            Gatti - Made Balboa look like a gutless punk

            Prince Naz - From his trash talk to his ring walk, the impossible angles and bone crunching power he was true entertainment

            Morales - A real fighter in every sense of the word

            Corrales - A warrior with no quit in him and big punch power, his fight with JLC will never be forgotten

            Trinidad - A Devastating puncher and finisher with vulnerabilitys

            Juan Marquez - Always enjoyable but now known as a true warrior with genius punch combinations!

            Shane Mosley - Fast Powerfull and always up for a fight

            Nigel Benn - A BADASS! Animal

            Vazquez - Tough nut who keeps swinging regardless

            Cotto - Been in great fights, vulnerable brave and exciting

            Barkley - Had the power and came to fight everytime

            Holyfield - Warrior. He had some real brawls with the big guys

            Katsidis - Big Heart and huge desire, never off his mans case, plus i love the way he punches

            Raffy Marquez - Heart guts power and skills just like his brother. Took part in my favourite series of fights, against Vazquez

              Technically you can add both Pryor and Arguello (two of the most exciting ever) but neither were as nearly exciting as they were before the 25 year cut.

                I orginally thought you meant out of the fighters still active in the last 25 years who had the most exciting careers.

                I realised after my post that you probably meant their actual fights during that 25 years.

                So I just kept it on a technicality
