Who was the most exciting fighter in history to you? A lot of people have their own opinions on what makes the Sweet Science so sweet. Thats why in the recent Toney-Peter fight, the judges who liked fewer punches but harder ones and a continual coming forward aggressive approach scored for Sam Peter; while the people who appreciate slick defensive counterpunching and greater numbers of punches and combinations thrown thought that Toney had it won hands down. It all comes down to what you look for and what excites you about boxing.Is it devastating punching power? Dazzling hand and foot movement? Brilliant strategy and ring generalmanship executed to a tee? What about the ability to take punishment and fight through blood and guts to victory? Some fighters just have that special "something" that spark of electricity that puts asses in the seats whenever their name goes up on the marquee. It's not always the best fighters of the ones with the winningest records that figure in here. Pick five of the 30 listed and maybe list a few reasons why you believe they were among the most exciting fighters around...
