    Come on TS, there's a lot of very exciting fighters out there. Hell, Rios may not be the most exciting fighter in his division. Think about how unpredictable and exciting Amir Khan's fights can be. Its not very often he's in a fight that's anything other than fun to watch.
    Malignaggi/McCloskey/Judah/Molina, I wouldn't classify those as "exciting". I think Rios is the most exciting fighter in his division because he has just enough skill (infighting) and tons of toughness to complement it. IMHO, the only entertaining part about Khan's fights is the anticipation of him getting put on the canvas. Sure, seeing him stumble around is pretty entertaining too lol

    Matthysse is a bit more skilled, a bit more effective and doesn't get hit as often or as flush as Rios does, hence why I don't think he's as entertaining.

      He's exciting, not doubt about that BUT he probably isn't even the most exciting boxer in his own division, let alone the entire boxing industry.

        There's many exciting fighters, Rios is one of them but he's far from the only one.

            I thought Judah was entertaining, and Malignaggi and Molina weren't boring or anything. Khan also has Maidana, Peterson, and Garcia in recent memory, all good fights. The combination of his speed, chin, and willingness to fight almost always makes him entertaining to me.

            I'd love to see Khan/Rios.

              If you call getting hit by almost every punch your opponent throws at you exciting, then yes!!!! As soon as they throw a guy in there with half decent boxing skills he will get outboxed badly!

                Judah/Malignaggi/Molina were a bit too one-sided for me to find entertaining imo. I'm not saying he's boring (clearly not), but if both guys were fighting similar caliber opponents on the same night and I could only watch one, I would choose Rios. Rios wants to get hit and could potentially absorb your best shot. On the other hand, Khan's style lends to him getting caught unexpectedly and his chin/punch resistance isn't that great.

                  Followed by probably Mares or Chavez jr.

                  Hands down.
                  If you like caveman style boxing.
