    Is Israel Vasquez the most exciting fighter in boxing?

    He goes down, he gets up. He gets cut, bleeds, but still fights. He's a high action little guy who scores big knockouts.

    Look at his 2 blitzings of Oscar Larios. He went out there and gave him the business in short order. Even in the 2nd fight when he was stopped he lit up the crowd with a high intensity war.

    Then he climbs off the canvas twice against Jhonny Gonzalez in a fight he was losing bad and knocks him out. Many felt that fight could have been the best of 2006.

    Most recently, his trilogy with Rafael Marquez, which has produced the two best fights in recent memory. As Steve Kim put is, "13 Rounds of Fury".

    Vasquez has all of the elements that make a great action fighter. Is he the most exciting fighter in boxing?

      He is a true unsung hero of boxing. Is he the most exciting fighter in Boxing today? Maybe. He would have to compete with Pacquaio's exlposiveness. Even though Pac hasnt been dropped like Vazquez has, his demolition of legends and anyone in front of him is exciting to fans.

              Are you saying that Juan Diaz, who has never been in a FOTY candidate or scored an exciting knockout, is more exciting than Israel Vasquez? I'm all for opinions, but come on.

              Diaz lacks the punching power to create the kind of drama that Vasquez puts on. He also hasn't faced anywhere approaching the quality of opposition Vasquez has been in with. I don't see the drama in a Juan Diaz fight.

                  my words exactly...........................


                  i would say vazquez is one of, if not THE most exciting fighter in boxing today or in recent history.....................

                  i'm a diehard fan of his, i think he's a special kind of fighter, a nose to the grind stone fighter who is highly skilled and has great instinct.

                    Vasquez and Marquez are both exciting fighters.
