    Gatti, Tito Trinidad, Tyson, Roy Jones, Jr., and probably Hatton.

    Would’ve loved to attend any of those fighters’ fights live. Hatton especially. Every Hatton fight had the feel of a super fight.

      I would take all those mentioned but for me, I would flip Hatton with Pacquiao. I found a lot of Hatton fights boring with his hit and hold, mugging style.

      Waiting for a Pacquiao fight in my younger days felt like waiting for the super bowl for every one of his matchups. They were guaranteed excitement. Especially his fights under 135lbs. He only turned more boxer when he hit WW and his power, while it was stringing, wasn't the same as it was at the lower weights.

        Ah, damn. How could I forget the PAC-Man? Pacquiao 2005-2012 run was HELL of a run.

          Yeah and actually how could you forget COTTO? That dude was one my favorites. Always in a great fight and brought excitement. I still remember watching Cotto-Torres live and jumping out of my seat with all the knockdowns.

          My previous signature was, when things were hot in my boxing enjoyments years, P4P the most exciting fighters and I had, Pacquiao, Cotto, GGG listed. Granted, GGG wasn't in too many exciting fights but he brought the KOs. You knew you were in for one pretty much anytime he fought. Though yeah, for pure action and excitement, Pacquiao Cotto were my top two when boxing was at its peak excitement for me growing up.

          I wish I had gotten into boxing more when Morales/Barrera and Hamed were in their primes. The rewatches I've done of their older bouts were crazy exciting.

              Pretty solid. I might put Aaron Pryor in
              there, maybe in place of Trinidad.
