Name your 5 most entertaining Boxers

[Tarik One]

This does not include factors like personality, interviews and ring entrance. Strictly boxing:


1. Roy Jones - Other worldly talent, like he was from a different planet, always amazed me (until the 2nd Tarver fight)

2. 'Iron' Mike Tyson -
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? Not to mention his unpredictability in his later years.

3. Ali (60's)

4. Ray Robinson

5. Duran

Many others deserve mention: Gatti, Hearns, Toney, Julian Jackson (A Tyson in a middleweight's body), Mayorga, etc

My list is pretty much the same as yours except I would fit Toney in there and squeeze someone out.

Pacman was out of this world for a while. So were some of the 90's heavyweights...

Tyson
Roy Jones
Arturo Gatti
Prince Naseem
Emmanual Augustus

[lefthook00]

Might have to add Holyfield, he had some of the most epic fights in history.

Tyson
Roy Jones
Arturo Gatti
Prince Naseem
Emmanual Augustus

Always hated that f*cker. Barrera giving him a boxing lesson and bullying him in the ring was one of the most satisfying Boxing matches I've ever seen :applause:

Pacquiao
El Intocable/Sweet Pea/ maybe James Toney as far as defensive wizards go
Augustus Burton
Duran
Julian Jackson

Tough to narrow it down to just 5. The sport has such a long History of great fighters, probably better to do it by era/decade. Feel like I left a ton of guys out just to get it down to 5 (8 :lol ).

He was extremely cocky but he could fight his ass off... That Barrera fight tho lol that was just a damn shame

No doubt. But everyone has that person/people they just don't like. Prince Naseem was that for me.

I remember watching some of his ridiculous ring entrances and thinking 'this f*cking clown :rolleyes: '

Then Barrera got to him and I was all like 'let me see you dance now, bitch'. But he didn't dance... he quit. Never to be heard from again. Wonderful story :lol

+1. He most likely will because he's very flawed.

I really enjoyed watching De La Hoya fight, especially when he was younger. He would be in my top 5 entertaining boxers. Boy threw heat in COMBOS, would knock fools senseless with that left hook, and never backed down.

[K]

I have to admit, although I did some trolling, I actually enjoyed Mayweather's fight against Canelo. The way he makes other boxers look like fools is hilarious.

[Nastradamus]

Tyson
Mayweather Jr
Ali
Jones Jr.
Pacquiao

sweet pea

Little Red
El Travieso
Pacman
El Puas
Schoolboy Chacon
Saad Muhammad
El Terrible
Manos de Piedra
Iron Mike
The Hawk

[bdreason]

Similar list to OP. Would probably add Sugar Ray Leonard.

Agree with everybody dissing him (I hated him as well) but I can't front, the f@g was entertaining as hell. You HAD to tune in to see him fight cause he was wild.

No love for Julio Cesar Chavez?

He was a technician/brawler, never a dull moment. The type of fighter that went all out.
