I guess mine would be...

1. Tyson
2. Manny Pacquaio
3. Arturo Gatti
4. Julian Jackson
5. Aaron Pryor

It's hard to pick a guy over Tyson, how can it get more exciting than a guy with that kind of power and handspeed who throws every punch to knock you unconscious. Julian Jackson was that way too in a middleweight form.
OOOh Julian Jackson good mention!

I haven't seen a lot of Ali being super exciting....but against Cleveland Williams he was just absolutely amazing, he was in stunning form, damn near untouchable, smooth with the combos, light on his feet.
