Is Israel Vasquez the most exciting fighter in boxing?

He certainly figures into the discussion, but don't forget about Dr. Steelhammer. Vazquez deserves an honorable mention though.

Vasquez is a WARRIOR. At the highest level. He fights on high octane all the way and never lets up. I was particularly impressed tonight by the fact that he never got discouraged dispite the early lead Marquez picked up. He kept to his gameplan to stay on the inside and then bombed with the right hand when he saw Marquez's eye closing. He's intelligent, resilient, and has lots of power. Hard for any fighter to deal with. And to answer your question, I'm not sure he's the most exciting in boxing because I can't get excited solely watching 1 fighter, but he's among the most exciting fighters in boxing today.

izzy Vasquez is awesome! when you tell a fighter you need to go for the knockout in the 12th they usually say yes but dont apply it....izzy went for the kill! this guy is crowd pleasing.

Well.........yeah Vasquez is exciting in a workman's sense. Yep.

I think Arce's showmanship, fight style and character make him exciting..........as I do Bell's style and ring theatrics. Both guys natural entertainers for sure.

I like Bell as well, but it just sucks that he fights only one time a year.

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?

What impressed me the most was how he came out in the 12th.
Such heart, determination and bravery.
