What fighter is best described as never having been in a dull fight?
My pick is John Molina. Win or lose, it's always life and death and a real thriller.

Gatti is a good call. He even made Mayweather look exciting.

Re: Waht fighter is best described as never having been in a dull fight?
I would have to make a case for Johnny Nelson , he was never in a dull fight.
If we are honest with ourselves , they were just BLOODY AWFUL .
Rocky Lockridge was never in a bad fight , his 2 fights with Tony Lopez especially.

Gotta go with Mike Tyson, off the top of my head i think it was only Bonecrusher Smith who tamed him at his peak and went the distance.
Other than that he was either banging everyone out or getting banged out himself.

Re: What fighter is best described as never having been in a dull fight?
Dennis Andries defies logic, he had been through so many exciting wars and punch up's for one fighter.

​Smoking Joe Frazier was never in a dull fight.

Cotto. Win or lose his fights were never dull.

Re: What fighter is best described as never having been in a dull fight?
I'm with everyone else on Gatti obviously.
Emmanuel Burton/ Augustus? He was also fun to watch.

Good on Augustus as a showman and gave Floyd fits. Turned me off a bit when all the talk of him taking a dive happened, forget the fight but the 'ko' was pretty ehhh :-X.
Poor guy's lucky to be alive right now. not to long ago he was walking around down here and was shot in the head. And lived!

If you're going to go for Brits from that era how about Michael Gomez? He deserves to be in just for the Alex Arthur fight.

Carl Thompson had some exciting fights as well.

Sorry.... but the Floyd fight disqualifies them both from the OP question.

Sorry.... But the Spinks and other late 70's fights were boring.

Re: What fighter is best described as never having been in a dull fight?
Thinking about it again maybe I'm taking it to literal but isn't it near impossible for a guy not be at least a couple of dull fights? Especially with the top 'warriors' and more renowned free swingers because it is what has come to be expected in comparison. Styles, reputations and such. Gatti had some lulls picking up his 140 trinket. Benn was all action but Wharton was more about him showing he could box a bit. During Malinga 2 I was doing laundry ;D.

I actually wrote Gomez then erased it thinking the name will confuse most.

I think that dive took place in some Scandinavian country Maybe Denmark. He was "waxed" by a punch that missed him by about a foot.

Lomachenko, even against the most boring fighter on the planet (Rigo) he made it a fun fight. Just watching him shadowbox gives me an erection.

That is good to know, proper legend of a fighter.
Beat Eubank and Haye, needs a medal for that alone!

2 Philly locals looking for claim at 160 early on and it would have been brutally fantastic
