Which boxer for you always put on a good show...

[Hughesd]

regardless of who he was in the ring with ? For me it was Oscar De La Hoya.

[HattonTheHammer]

one name comes to mind............


GATTI

[Nameless]

one name comes to mind............


GATTI

Indeed, I had that in mind as well, perhaps the greatest showman in the history of that sport. We could say Mickey Ward as well and coincidentially talking, he's not far from the THunder.

[Boxerharvey]

For me I gotta say Shane Mosley. always fights the best and always comes to fight. The only boring fight imop was against Mayorga but to Ko him in the last seconds of round 12 finished a poor performance with a bang!!

Also have to say Cotto cant really remember a boring fight ive ever seen him in.

[DaxxKahn]

In the last 15 yrs..

Gatti
Ward
Pacquiao
Emmanual Augustas

Vinnie Pazienza is a personal favorite for putting on a good show. Agreed with Gatti, Cotto and Oscar who were mentioned as good showman.

That's actually a very good answer, De La Hoya was always entertaining no matter who he was in the ring with the exception of the last one and certainly he was tailing off. But he was always exciting and his fights were always exciting. His fights with Derrell Coley, Oba Carr, John Avila, Arturo Gatti and David Kamau were all very entertaining imo. I don't know if it's my pick but it's not as bad of a pick as one might think.

[OumaFan]

Yeah but he's evil.

Chico, Manny, Cotto, just recently. I liked Haye when he was an active fighter.

[HattonTheHammer]

de la hoyas had some stinkers in the past mayweather, sturm and the hopkins fights come to mind.

cant say the same about gatti

[generalbulldog]

Roy Jones in his day did it for me and a pre-prison Tyson.

[Dark Lord Al]

Tommy Hearns.
Nigel Benn.
Julian Jackson.
Gatti.
Terry Norris.

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Katsidis, Gatti, Hatton, Haye, Arreola, Ward, Bika, Cotto, Mosley, ODLH, Morrales, MAB, JMM, Izzy Vasquez, Raf Marquez, Paul Williams, Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hearns, Kelly Pavlik, Juan Diaz, Vinny Paz, Edison Miranda, Corrales, Berto... Man, there's a lot

Quite surprised at how little Holyfield has been mentioned. Not so much now due to him being more than 15 years past his best but to me the trilogy with Bowe was the best in HW history, all his Cruiser fights were great especially Qawi I (which is my favourite Evander fight), his fights with Tyson were not the greatest but would be up for HW fight of the year these days and the other day I was watching the first Lewis fight again and although it was overshadowed by the bad decision at the end it was a very entertaining fight.

Then again the title does say always and yes he had his off nights but I can't think of anyone other than maybe Gatti who never failed to impress!
