Re: Most exciting fighters of all time?
Mike Tyson - He was fast, powerful, just everything about him said DANGEROUS.
Roy Jones Jr. - He's flashy, he's dominant, he's powerful...he was like a mix of everything good about Ali and Tyson.
Roberto Duran - Gotta love him, he was just soooo mean
George Foreman - The definition of POWER PUNCHER
Joe Louis - So powerful but yet such a good boxer you were still surprised when he landed the KO punch
Re: Most exciting fighters of all time?
Somebody picked that guy Tommy Morrison ???
Re: Most exciting fighters of all time?
I voted for Mike Tyson, SRL, Marvin Hagler, RJJ and ODLH.
Mike Tyson- Well his combination of sheer power in BOTH fists, and amazing hand speed which cleaned out everyone around was just so fun to watch!
SRL- Very classy boxer, with fast hands and feet, VERY good and fast flurries which were great to watch. Took part in fights with some of the best ever boxers.
Hagler- Never took a step back and always looked to knock the other guy senseless.
RJJ- Possibly the most physically gifted boxer of all time with them IMMENSELY quick hands and reflexes, was so great to watch him at his peak, i doubt whether there will ever be that sort of talent at SMW again.
ODLH- Has never ducked anyone regardless of what others say, he looks for the big fights and like SRL is very classy and entertaining. Complete boxer.
Re: Most exciting fighters of all time?
RJJ-the way he dissected fighters at him prime with his blinding speed etc was a joy to behold.
Roberto Duran-I don't normally like the type of attitude he had but I mean how could you not like him. Usually delivered on his word,had so many great fights in so many eras!!
Erik Morales-Love him or hate him,out of this curretnt generation of fighters,no one has either a.) had fights with so many top fighters consecutively or b.)been in so many wars! And the amazing thing is,he has won most of them!
Felix Trinidad- probably my most exciting fighter ever. You knew he would go down early,the question was which round. You'd also know(most of the time)that he would get back and KTFO the other guy! I mean he had great fights with everyone he fought and his wars with Vargas and Mayorga have to be seen to be believed!
Mike Tyson-the perfect combination for a HW,speed power skill etc etc etc and his KO power led to some grisly knockouts!(personal fave,the uppercuts when the guy just collapsed to his knees in the corner,his name eludes me)
Hagler-was this man ever backed up??I think Maybe Mugabi did it for a while but again,so many great wars and he won most of them!A true legend.
Ricardo Lopez-alot of you may disagree with me here,but I honestly thought watching this guy fight was a beauty to behold,a real joy. I only found out about him from making a thread and asking,I searched some fights and boy was he maybe the most complete boxer for the last 30 or so years? His first fight with Alvarez is one of my fave fights ever,SO MUCH skill from both guys. A boxing master.

I will never forget some of the pointers he gave me in the gym, it was an honor to be at the same heavy bag with the man.
What the F*** you talking about? Norris won all his championships after the Jackson fight. He became a p4p fighter after the Jackson fight. Not only that, I met Terry Norris early this year. In his home town of San Diego. And he sounded just find to me. He was very happy that his accomplishments were recognized and was inducted into the HOF. Rumours that Norris is all messed up are just that, rumours. Terry has a throat condition, in which his throat dries up quickly. His voice gets real low and is barely understandable. Which probably gives the impression that he's all messed up. Norris said it himself. Listen to his HOF inductee speech. And see if he sounds all messed up. Norris has always been one of my favorite fighters. So I always look out for any Norris news. The only thing I can agree with in the above post is that it was an honor to be in his presence. Still I'm a give this clown his first sc for the other garbage he posted.
You can give me any "sc" you want to. I know Terry Norris. And he was hurt in the Jackson fight. Brain damage from boxing grows worse over time, it doesnt just affect you all at once. and you say he has a throat condition? I wish that was all it was. I dont mean any kind of offense to Terry, he was a great champion and great fighter. But I've met him many times and he doesnt sound just fine. His voice is barely audible and he slurs because hes been hit in the head too hard too many times. Starting but not ending with the Jackson fight which was his most vicious KO. I dont give two shits about what you think or post about me. But I dont post bullshit.
