    Question Entertaining Or Not

    Two fighter's I all way's found to be Entertaining were Eubank and NAz, showmen they could put a
    smile on your face!. and a few fighter's I don't find Entertaining.
    What fighter's do you find Entertaining or not.?

    Eubank and Naz was were definitely exciting although Naz was a bit too wild for my taste..

    Terry Norris.. All offense with poor chin and durability.. Offensively, he was one of the most exciting fighters ever though and i loved watching him letting his fists fly.. This dude doesn't get enough credit for his handspeed but his combinations were fucking fast and furious.. Only problem I have with him was his habit of calling out smaller fighters..

    Ricardo Lopez... Lopez IS Boxing.. nothing else needs to be said about this man.. When I have a son in the future, Im going to make him watch Lopez' career set before he gets into serious training.. Anybody who wants to box must watch tapes of Lopez cuz he's as textbook as they come.. textbook..

    Juan Manuel Marquez.. Same as Finito.. He's a Lopez 2.0.. Marquez could be fighting a total bum in Mexico and Im still excited.

    Nonito Donaire.. Everything I expect to see in a great Boxer-puncher, Nonito has it.. He's the epitome of one..

    Jorge Linares.. He's the muthafuckin truth and watching him box boggles my mind.. like wow

    Jung Koo Chang aka The Korean Hawk... Gained his fighting ability on the rough streets of Korea against hard ass Korean mobsters and you can tell by looking at his boxing style.. He had a streetfighting style but shit was affective inside the ring..

    Donald Curry.. Textbook Boxer-puncher with a beautiful form..

    Mike McCallum.. Godly..

    Floyd Mayweather Jr.. Some people say he's boring but those are the same dudes who don't appreciate the sweet science.. Im not going to accuse those people of not knowing shit about Boxing but they definitely dont know what to look for inside the squared circle. Floyd excited the shit outa me and ill always be a fan. Im not a fan of his persona but as a fighter, I think the world of him..

    BORING FIGHTERS:

    Bernard Hopkins

    Stinky Wright

    Ivan Calderun

    Manny Pacquiao

    Klitchschko frauds

    Mickey Ward

    Ricardo Mayorga

    Ponce Deleon

    Juan Urango

    Ricky Hatton- The number 1 most boring British fighter ever

    John Ruiz

    Basically, the fighters who either rarely takes chances, clinches excessively, or are one dimensional bores me.. Brawlers dont do nothing for me..

    Mickey Ward was in some of the best fights of his era.
    What are you talking about ?

    Nigel Benn should be added to the list for entertaining as should Hearns.

    If you want entertaining that's Benn and Hearns and Hagler they don't make them like that any more.

    Evander Holyfield early on was pretty exciting.

    George Foreman has always been exciting. His punch was legendary, and his chin was made of Iron. It'd have been awesome to see Tyson vs. Foreman in 1992. Foreman would have killed him.

    I like watching Joshua Clottey. The guy is defensively sound, and lands beautifully.

    Delvin Rodriguez deserves an honorable mention for the way he pounded the hell out of Wolak with his awkward style on the Cotto-Margarito II undercard.

    Gatti was extremely entertaining. The guy could box, but for some reason, often got pulled into a slugfest.

    Duran. Lightweight Duran. The man was made of fury, stone, and beautiful foot placement.

    Rocky Marciano is my number one. The guy had such a queer style that fit his abilities, and that made him an undefeated champion. Anybody that thinks that Marciano is overrated is simply wrong.

    I find most fights entertaining to watch but fights that I hate are the fat, slow, lazy HWs.

    Finito how you can call Hatton the most boring British fighter ever is beyond me. I can understand you personally not liking brawlers and prefering boxers and technicians, but Hatton was a great watch for thousands of Brits, so much so they followed him across the Atlantic. You are fortunate not to have had to endure some of the other British fighters that have genuinely sent us to sleep over here.

    Dia is always accusing me of baiting when Im really not, GreenBeans.. lol Im being all real..

    It's just a preference thing, mate. Hatton is too John Ruiz-ish for my taste.. He resorts to immediate clinches after a punch or two because he's not skilled nor creative enough to put on a sustained boxing match..

    How often have we seen him in a sustained Boxing match?? It's always the same sequence with that punch, grab, punch, grab, punch grab.. dude was more of a rabbit punching wrestler... Hatton was just so unwatchable but that's just me..
