      that was his only title defense in his 1st reign that was entertaining to me, from start to finish.

      the others before his exile, and even quite a few after them, you would get to see some amazing things, but you had to sit through a boring fight to get to those things.

        It was not an exile, it was a banning...and how about...Liston I or II, how about Ernire "What's my name" Terrel...or the interesting fight with Henry Cooper

            I like each fighter for different reasons. Hard to make a list.

            1.) Tyson
            2,) Robinson
            3.) Hearns
            4.) Haggler
            5.) Leonard
            6.) Ali
            7.) Marciano
            8.) Meldrick Taylor (God forbid someone thinks Jermain)
            9.) Pryor
            10.) Frazier

                Exciting right? Not runners, movers,....
                I would def include Tito and Wilfredo Gomez in that list. Other 8 have been mentioned earlier.

                  the terrell fight was average. the cooper fight was interesting.

                  neither liston fight was especially exciting (how could the rematch be?). if i saw the fight live it'd be different due to the magnitude but it's not an especially good action fight.

                    A few that didn't seem to get much attention:

                    Alexis Arguello - His come from behind victory over Olivares, the two incredible wars with Escelera, the exciting battles with the likes of Boom Boom Mancini, Bazooka Limon, Bobby Chacon, Ruben Castillo, Andy Ganigan, & the final wars with Aaron Pryor; one of the most exciting of all time, as well as one of the best.

                    Marvellous Marvin Hagler: the war with Hearns alone should get him here - probably the most exciting 3 rounds of all time; but also had some great battles with the likes of Sibson, Hamsho, Roldan & Mugabi.

                    Kostya Tszyu: Explosive fighter, with one of the deadliest rights of all time, Tszyu was in some wildly exciting fights - Judah, Hurtado, Rodriguez, & Lopez probably the most exciting, but some other performances were pretty excellent.

                    & finally, & probably most unpopularly, Joe Calzaghe.
                    An in-form, focused Calzaghe is one of the most exciting fighters out there, with punches coming from all angles, & an absolutely incredible pace.
                    His battles with the likes of Byron Mitchell, Charles Brewer & Omar Sheika were wildly exciting stuff, & he's put in some other great performances as well.

                      I don't share your enthusiasum, my friend.

                      I just think Joe is a just above average boxer who stayed out of the limelight until Jeff Lacy, and given Jeff Lacy's last performance, we shouldn't see it as such an achievement what Joe to Lacy.

                      Joe has to step up and fight quality opposition. He needs to fly over to the States and kick it there. There was a good documentary on here (I'm in the UK) called No Average Joe, and there was some dude from the US talking about how Joe has dodged everyone - Hopkins, Tarver, Jones. It kinda rung a bell with me.

                      I hate to see people fail, but I also hate to see people milking the press. Nine years as world champ ain't that good if you only fought two good blokes in the last nine years (Lacy and Eubank).

                      Just my two cents.
