    Wlads #1 fan is critiques a pick on 'entertaining'

    Ok so rather than the pair that ended his career, and the Holyfield fights that helped initiate it....Bowes entertaining fights were......

    THAT trilogy was a mutual hardship, and its the rally and near ko mentioned first by most.

    I put Rigo and Floyd on the list. Not due to offensive output but watching their defense and footwork amazes me. I saw Rigo in the boring thread and I can understand why but technically he is exciting to me.

    Santa Cruz, the kid just amazes me, nonstop
    Omar ( I forget the kids last name by I'm sure you know who I mean) Hopefully he gets some defense cause I would like to see him stay around.
    Cotto- Always liked him.

    I left Pac out but he would actually be number one.

    I went with active fighters, historically I would put Max Baer. I've seen his old fights, now he was exciting. My list is subject to change but these are what came to mind. I left Manny out of No.1 because I cry when you guys call me a pactard

    Archie Moore, a boyhood hero.

    Tyson, of course.

    Aaron Pryor, made it look so easy.

    Hearns, of course.

    Joe Frazier, perpetual motion.


    Guys I would never miss watching if possible: GGG, Oscar, PacMan, Alexis Arguello and Ali.

    I need my ass kicked!

    Johnny Tapia...RIP. Just rewatched the Ayala, Romero and Martinez fights, what a whirlwind. On the sleeve, heart exposed and a pure thrill to watch between the ropes.

    At present, I'm most entertained by Golovkin, M Garcia, Beterbiev, Lomachenko and Kovalev.

    I like watching boxers with skilled aggression.

    Thanks for the support, most of them are Europeans anyway so it's not like their opinions means anything.

    I have a real love and hate relationship with these kinds of threads. Once I take a peek inside I'm doomed. I work alone and in a big shop with lots of miles put on throughout the day so when I saw this earlier I grabbed pen and paper and went about my day. Five came fast and then another five and then another and so on. When I tried to narrow it down to five all time I honestly couldn't and believe me I tried. I changed my top 5 almost as many times as I added people to the list. So I compromised and broke it down into eras. For practical purposes based on decades. Some fellas overlap a bit.
