Most exciting fighters in each division
Not necessarily the best. The most exciting
Heavyweight-James Toney: Know a lot of people won't agree cause's he's not a big puncher but I love the skills and he stands right in front of guys, doesn't run, doesn't hold much.
Cruiser-O'Neill Bell: A big puncher with a bit of a sketchy defense, can be hurt but has good recuperative powers. Never really know what's gonna happen in a Bell fight
LH: Tomasz Adamek: This was tough, Tarver's boring, Johnson doesn't really excite me, Adamek's a tough guy, very active, some power.
SM: Calzaghe. Not a huge fan but he's very active, I almost went with Lucian Bute but I haven't seen him enough.
MW: Nobody really. A lot of good fighters, none that I really like watching all that much. Maybe Winky, I don't know, Miranda's allright in that you don't know if he's gonna knock a guy out or get knocked out.
JMW: Ouma-No power, very active, always in punching range. Rivera's good too.
WW: Floyd: Love to watch him fight, kinda like James Toney.
JWW: Castillo although he hasn't fought a fight there. Great infighter, solid power, stands right in front, doesn't clench much.
LW: I actually have a tie here. Corrales for the obvious reasons but I also love watching Juan Diaz, not much power but so active, good infighter, never holds. Never.
SF: Gonna go with Pac, always brings the excitement, power, speed, everything. Love watching Guzman fight though. Very close second.
Feather: S*** I don't know ;D I guess JMM, very good skills, has a habit sometimes of doing just enough to get the win but I like watching the technicians like him.
Jr. Feather: Vasquez. Power, solid skills, good chin, always comes to fight.
118: Rafael Marquez: Great skills, great power, just shaky enough in the chin factor to make it exciting.
115: Arce: Always comes to fight, seems to really enjoy beating people up.
112: Darchinyan: Great power
108: Another S*** I don't know. Maybe Viloria
105: Calderon: Great skills, no power, but almost (note the almost) Pernell like skills.
Any thoughts, no need to list all the weight classes.
Re: Most exciting fighters in each division
thats pretty much how i have it.
Re: Most exciting fighters in each division
lol,that's pretty much how I have it too except it's Corrales outright for me and at WW,it's Margarito,every fight he is in seems to be exciting although Mayweather is a close second,I love watching him fight.
Re: Most exciting fighters in each division
I agree with your list almost completely. HW tho id have to hand it to Wlad. I mean id rather see Wlad hopefully KO someone like he did to Byrd in his last fight then a contraversial decision with JT vs Sam Peter, and when I say JT I am referring to Justin"Bringing Sexy Back" Timberlake.

Re: Most exciting fighters in each division
I'm trying to listen to music but there is music playing in this thread and no way to turn it off...
Ouma, why are neither Woods or Johnson not your pick at Light Heavy, both can bang and come to fight... :)
Re: Most exciting fighters in each division
Re: Most exciting fighters in each division
Why did kinda odd Indian music come on when I opened this thread. ???
I don't really like watching Johnson fight, I respect him, but for whatever reason I've never liked watching him fight that much. And the thing with Woods is I haven't seen him since the RJ fight. He's supposed to have improved. I'll look at the clips, I do like watching Adamek fight though.
Re: Most exciting fighters in each division
Ok the music thing is still kinda odd
Those were good clips, it does like Clinton's improved, would like to see the whole fight at some point

Clinton's improved. But really...Glen is no RJJr. Least not the Roy that was years ago. Then again, nobody is
Re: Most exciting fighters in each division
I just posted it in teh file sharing board. :)
Also, whose ever it is needs to take that stupid flash thing out of their sig... or at teh very least get one with a volume control... I have to stop the music I have every time it's in a thread... it loops and there is no way to stop it...
Re: Most exciting fighters in each division
have it pretty much the same except i dont rate light heavywieght since its dried up now, roy is shot, tarver been exposed and bhop has had his fight and left....
the only thing going on with light heavy is that clinton woods is supposed to fight calzaghe and im guessing joe will want to be a two wieght world champ, maybe a catch wieght if not??
smw- i have allan green, he disapointed in his last fight but he said he had a short camp and wasnt in shape for that fight, but i like him hes got good skills and power and hes undefeated, defense probs but i think he'll work on them for his next fight!
mid.... taylor i'll say, i respect the guy for fighting the best and i love to follow an undefeated fighter, also i have a feeling winky has his number so he will have to fight hard to stay undefeated, probably the only division except maybe welter where the champ is fighting the best there is to offer
light mid- ouma or oscar, ouma is exciting and theres somethin about the guy that makes me hope he does well for himself.... although he's fighting jermain... which is middleweight hes still a light middleweight for my list, also taking on jermaine shows he wants to fight the best...
and oscar for the simple reason that he holds a title and his next fight is goner be a big one.
welter- floyd/ baldo... floyd is just great and im enjoying seeing what baldo can pull off and looking forward to theyr fight!!
light welter ... hatton/cotto
both proven at light welter cotto is movign up but im putting him at lww cos thats where hes fought,
and hatton is moved back down and i'll be over the moon if he can sort a fight with jlc i have big expectations for ricky and this is the first big sign he may well live upto them
lightwieght, corrales... maybe jesus chavez? im not a great big fan of the division its just ok to me!
super feather... manny pac is one of the most exciting fighters in any division....
but im a bigger barrera fan and they both take the big fights so its a tie to me...
and i dont really follow the other wieghts, otherwise if its not here i either agree with the original list or i dont follow fights at that wieght so i couldnt say
peace

Nice, CC for the fight Adam
