15 most exciting of the last 25 years
Collapse

I was gonna include him, actually, but I felt like most of his real wars were on a stage lower than the other guys. Oscar Larios and Jhonny Gonsalez don't really stack up against the others...although his best fights were easily the Marquez wars. So yeah, gotta include him...maybe take out Trinidad?Comment

There is going to be so much dispute with everyones list because its so hard to just name 15! heres my attempt;
Alexis Arguello
Juan Manuel Marquez
Erik Morales
Marco Antonio Barrera
Arturo Gatti
Israel Vasquez
Rafael Marquez
Mike Tyson
Terry Norris
Emmanuel Augustus
Julio Cesar Chavez
Felix Trinidad
Roy Jones Jr
Ricky Hatton
Aaron PryorComment

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!Comment

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 VazquezLast edited by The Surgeon; 01-20-2011, 03:04 PM.Comment

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.Comment

I realised after my post that you probably meant their actual fights during that 25 years.
So I just kept it on a technicalityComment
