    Mayweather had some good ones, but overall I liked Whitaker a bit more. The amount of what they do in the ring is actually about equal...but Whitaker always had this layed back rhythm to his fighting...kind of like how relaxed James Toney is. it was fun to watch.

    I both like to watch them for their amazing skill as well

      thats why i dont even care to vote.
      This post just shut this thread down for real. Great post. People have been making some great posts today. Nothing else needs to be said by me.

      A poll option should be are the equally exciting. That would be my vote.

        exactly

        whitiker wasnt considered exciting at the time
        he was P4P but people critisized him the same way they did
        floyd. now that he dont fight and floyd does floyd gets the
        hate sweet pea gets the love. jsut liek when roy was on
        top he got all the hate when he lsot and wasnt fighting as often
        he gets alot fo love.

        as a boxer and a boxing fan i find defense as exciting as offense.
        how can you be a fan and not find floyd exciting. how can you be
        a fan and jsut find all out offense exciting. the whole sport of boxing is
        exciting to me. the only style i find boring is ruiz and now hopkins.
        i feel floyd is a more well rounded fighter than sweet pea. floyd has better
        offensive options than whitiker. whitiker had amazing footwork and lots of
        upperbody movement but his main weappon was his jab and straight left.

        floyd uses his whole body for his defence. his footwork balance speed upperbody movement his shoulder. howcan fights with corley gatti ndou
        corales be forgotten?
