    The most exciting BOXING match?

    not all out war with just throwing and no defense..fights that still had the "hit n not get hit" rule in it..the most technical but exciting BOXING match ever..what is it?

    Non-existant. I think the better a boxer is, the less exciting he is. The problem is, if one person is hitting and not getting hit, then it is a one-sided whitewash. But if your rules state that only one person must be excercising the hit and don't be hit, then I would say Mayweather vs. Gatti. Any fight that is exciting with both guys not being hit has artificial excitement, because both guys are recognized as good, but most of the excitement comes from the pre-fight hype, instead of what actually happens in the ring.

        thats not true at all, and Mayweather-Gatti is probably the most onesided demolition of the last decade!

        Anyway, off the top of my head i cant think of the best one ever, but often times when a fight is really good and you have two great talents in there, it ends up being a war.

        Like Taylor-Wright. That was a highly entertaining boxing match for about 8 rounds, until the 10th when it turned into a war.

          I know, I was saying that if only person had to be excercising hit and don't be hit then it qualifies. Mayweather was hitting and not getting hit. I don't know, the more tactical and intelligent fight a fighter fights, the less action it produces. This is a strange sport.

            Mayweather-Gatti was entertaining, but i wouldn't call it exciting.
