the p4p list of boxing's -MOST ENTERTAINING-
late 80's
mike tyson - via landside (we all loved those demolitions/haemorroids/comatose)
early 90's
roy jones jr - the most succesful unorthodox fighter by that time (or maybe of all time)
late 90's
arturo gatti - 3 fight of the year honors
the new millenium's highlights were surprisingly from the smaller fighters
here are some familiar names -
marco antonio barrera
erik morales
manny pacquiao
wheew!!! these fighters are good for the sport (i thought prince hamed shall be one of them if he aint beaten badly by MAB)
im sure everyone will agree that these guys were boxings much hyped fighters
from their 122-130 days, they all gave us excitements during saturdays
and dont forget castillo-corrales too..
and also mosley-ODH 1
is floyd fun to watch? honestly, i never saw him in a war
maybe because hes a tactician and seldom fights toe-to-toe..
well, these were just my opinions.... :)
Re: the p4p list of boxing's -MOST ENTERTAINING-
I think Chris Eubank is by far the most entertaining boxer there's been, and not because of his boxing ;D although he did have the most unorthodox boxing style in the game..

I loved Eubank, he was my favourite fighter as a kid growing up, but some of his fights were boring. Post Watson he just used to run around the ring and try not to get hit.
In his later fights leading up to his first Collins defeat he seemed to pride himself on doing the absolute bare minimum to win. Almost as if he was on some kind of energy conservation programme. In that respect he was highly efficient as he barely got out of second gear for a good 50% of his fights.

Felix Trinidad was consistently exciting in almost all his fights.
Don't forget Micky Ward too. ;)

I'm not talking about his boxing.

Well I'm with you there :P
He's the only boxer I know who has a collection of walking canes, wears a monacle and walks down the high street in horse riding gear. :D
Re: the p4p list of boxing's -MOST ENTERTAINING-
My vote goes to Roy Jones Jr.
Re: the p4p list of boxing's -MOST ENTERTAINING-
It was always exiting to try and guess what outfit hector camacho was going to wear to the ring he, he. But yo on the real tip I thought Meldrick Taylor was a very entertainig fighter. I also loved watching Delahoya back in the days.
Re: the p4p list of boxing's -MOST ENTERTAINING-
emmanuel burton (augustus) always in a good fight

this guy is an more known as an actor
im talking about ENTERTAINING BOXERS
theres no doubt that the division of MAB, EM, PAC is the most fun to watch
whenever they fought each other, it seems that there always a personal beef between all of them...
plus all of them have ranked in the top 10 p4p. :-\
Re: the p4p list of boxing's -MOST ENTERTAINING-
Roy jones for his speed and skill, its dazzling to watch
Re: the p4p list of boxing's -MOST ENTERTAINING-
Erik MoRALES:all his fights were wars and alot of them were classics too!!

i totally agree :)
he was a smart guy and has size and chin
his lack of punching power turnes a potential dominating fight into 12rounded wars that can be candidates for fight of the year honors

Yeah,that's 1` thing that confuses me about EM,why has he not ko'ed anyone for such a long time? Does he have brittle hands because I'm sure for the last couple of years at least,he has been wearing thise pillows?

you know what.. truth is EM is not really a power puncher...
these past years, the opponents he is up against is much heavier than the days
when he was a ko puncher.. since he moved up to 126, the only figher he koed was
guty espadas jr. (TKO)
EM is really a big guy and he knows he cant bulk up with muscles cuz his power wont affect anyone at higher than 135...
but thank God he isnt a ko artist...
we all witnessed those great battles he had been even if its against smaller opponents :'(
