Tommy Morrison- he could knock you out, or be knocked out at anytime.
I'd add..
Gatti
Duran
Hagler
Arguello

oh yes i forgot about gatti
Gatti
Tyson
Ward
Leonard
Hagler
Hearns
Duran
Lamotta
Marciano
could go on and on!
Hearns
Benn
Tyson
Dempsey
Gatti
but not.....
John Ruiz
Henry Akinwande
Audley Harrison
Benn, Lopez, Hearns, Hatton, Saad Muhammad..
tyson,benn, the guys that have one punch ko power is what brings crowds attention.
How is Ali not on the list?
And one from recent times.
Mr. KO Julian Letterlough. That guy was fun to watch.
Id have the G-Man on there.
fighting Harada is supposed to be pretty exciting, I havent ever watched him but found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft1JgSqHzTM
Erik Morales is never in a dull fight. And Jorge Paez was an exciting fighter who rarely gets mentioned.
Julio C Chavez
Azumah Nelson
Ricardo Lopez
Evander Holyfield
Mike Tyson
Naseem Hamed ( mainly because i wanted to watch him get koed ) but he did put on a show .
Arturo Gatti
Vinny Paz ( liked watching him fight, he was raw, but i love that determination)
Ben Tackie ( great fighter , comes to fight, gotta love this kid) Tackie on the card i will always tune in.
Daivd Tua ( he turned alot of bad situations around with one left hook. )
Joe Frazior
George Foreman
James Leija ( always came to fight had a very pleasing fighting style)
Ike Quartey ( Love watching that jab )
Jose Luis Lopez ( Great power puncher 147 lbs) fun to watch
I prefer watching fighters that engage , force the action but Sweet Pea Whitaker was fun to watch, he had excellent skills and never really ran, he circled his opponent. and got angles. great technician .
Simon Brown- he was fun to watch !
Julian Jackson - Thrill Ride
Ricky Hatton- love this guy ! ( British boxing at its best)
Kostya Tszyu - ( the best Jr Welterweight ever IMO)
Terry Norris- many many thrills.
Hagler , Duran , Leanord, Hearns,
ok i think that 10 ;D
I cant belive noone said Felix Trinidad (TITO)
Even though I dont rate him as a HW all time great,I think Mr Mike Tyson is the most exciting fighter ever.
Even his fights against nobodys were fights to watch.You could never be sure what was going to happen next in a tyson fight.
I dont think he was a great boxer,I think he was very overated.But I think he was by far the most exciting boxer of all time.
In no order my picks are--
Hearns--His punches were so fast and hard
Ali--The guy practicaly was in every top fight in the 70's
Tyson--We all love the power
Prime Foreman--Up until Ali he was the most feared guy in the game
Ray Leonard--He was the little Ali of the 80's
Gatti--Win or lose he does in in style all out or nothing
Aaron Pryor--He was just mean
Roberto Duran--At lightweight the guy was awsome and destroyed his opp like they owed him money
Naseem Hamed--You don't have to like him but he put on a hell of a show
Joe Frazier--He never stopped coming foward
I don't really have a top 10 but i have a list of some fighters that are usually pleasing to watch
this list includes:
Gatti, De La Hoya, Trinidad, Hatton, Pac Man, Emanuel Augustus(just love the dancing), Micky Ward could brawl, Ali, Frazier, Foreman(knockout artist), Morales, Barrera, Cotto (sometimes), Jason Litzau, Mayorga(his antics), Sugar Ray, Duran, Vargas(before he was conservative), Hearns, Marvelous Marvin
hell yeah Jason Litzu ! , i like that kid ! CC
In no particular order;
Duran
JCC
Hearns
Gatti
RJJ
Ali
Arguello
Holmes
Tyson

Bobby Chacon! Also, mentions to Michael Carbajal and Johnny Tapia.
Cool Click ! Bobby Chacon is tops ! loved that war in 1983 fight of the year against Bozo Edwards you know its a good fight when the ring doctor brings in the plastic surgeon to get his opinion on whether or not to continue the fight ! LOLQuote:

Yep! Chacon v Limon was wicked too, and Gonzaes loss to Carbajal then Sorjaturong in 95 (?) fight of the year too - Chacon and Gonzales both loved to go to war.Quote:

Same for Hearns he talked little but when he fought you were on the edge of your seat waiting to see if he shot the big right and connected.....Then guys like Hamed made everything a show from the PC to the entrance to his fights....
