Thread: Which boxer for you always put on a good show...

regardless of who he was in the ring with ? For me it was Oscar De La Hoya.

one name comes to mind............


GATTI

That's actually a very good answer, De La Hoya was always entertaining no matter who he was in the ring with the exception of the last one and certainly he was tailing off. But he was always exciting and his fights were always exciting. His fights with Derrell Coley, Oba Carr, John Avila, Arturo Gatti and David Kamau were all very entertaining imo. I don't know if it's my pick but it's not as bad of a pick as one might think.

Yeah but he's evil.

Chico, Manny, Cotto, just recently. I liked Haye when he was an active fighter.

de la hoyas had some stinkers in the past mayweather, sturm and the hopkins fights come to mind.

cant say the same about gatti

Roy Jones in his day did it for me and a pre-prison Tyson.

Indeed, I had that in mind as well, perhaps the greatest showman in the history of that sport. We could say Mickey Ward as well and coincidentially talking, he's not far from the THunder.

For me I gotta say Shane Mosley. always fights the best and always comes to fight. The only boring fight imop was against Mayorga but to Ko him in the last seconds of round 12 finished a poor performance with a bang!!

Also have to say Cotto cant really remember a boring fight ive ever seen him in.

In the last 15 yrs..

Gatti
Ward
Pacquiao
Emmanual Augustas

Vinnie Pazienza is a personal favorite for putting on a good show. Agreed with Gatti, Cotto and Oscar who were mentioned as good showman.

nigel benn

aside from Gatti, who's the obvious choice, well i'd say Arguello, Chavez, Gomez, Morales, Cotto, DLH, Mosley, Foreman, Holyfield at cruiserweight, Pacquiao, Corrales, Meldrick Taylor, etc.

I always enjoy watching Katsidis fight, he's going for it bell to bell.

Matthew Saad Muhammad
Bobby Chacon
Arturo Gatti
Kevin Kelley

ETC.

Apart from the obvious ones that have already been mentioned i'd say Emmanuel Augustus, Mayweather (most disagree but i love his style), Even Khan has been in some exciting fights as has Big Enzo Mac.
