    I mean...

    If you're British, sure.

    More popular does not equal more exciting.

    How I see it, too. Victor has given us some badass fights over the years.

    Good Thread PIMP-ton!

    I am on board with JMP

    Exciting
    1. Victor Ortiz
    2. Amir Khan
    3. Andre Berto

    Best
    1. Amir Khan
    2. Victor Ortiz
    3. Andre Berto

    They are all great to watch win or lose

    Khan has the most talent out of the bunch and is better overall

    Ortiz beat Berto so how can any one have them above Vic in terms of quality is beyond me. Also no way Robert Guerrero man handles Victor the way that he did Andre.

    I honestly believe Ortiz would end Guerrero early like Berto was supposed to do.

    Aydin had Robert wobbled many times and the ghost barely made it to the end of the fight, he won the boxing match but Aydin won the fist fight.

    IMO

    the London Olympics were ****ing rigged

    I want to see Verdejo vs. Lamachenko with no head gear

    Most American, Mexican and Puerto Rican Olympians are more geared for the pros than the amateurs

    Worth noting that whilst Khan is probably the most talented of them all, he's also the most vulnerable and would probably lose his fights against them.

    Boxing's a funny sport.

    Alexander fought Bradley, Khan fought Maidana - people wanted it like this, winner vs winner, but bradley didnt fight, He called out Bradley - the guy clearly avoided the fight, regardless of the reason.

    Mathysse - lost to Judah and Alexander (although I had him winning both by a point) he collected the L, when Khan was champion, Mathysse had not beaten anyone of note, so he wasn't even really regarded top 5

    you gotta love it takes a lot more than athleticism to make a good/great fighter

    so many intangibles that come into play, heart, discipline, work ethic, life style, ability to adopt or take a good punch

    Exciting
    1. khan
    2. ortiz
    3. berto

    Best fighter
    1. khan
    2. ortiz
    3. berto


    berto makes great action, but dude is to fat and can make action 9 rounds long. ortiz is close to khan, because he fights 12 rounds long with fury. khan is a bit mroe action packed, because he is faster and more explosive than ortiz and like ortiz puts it all in.

    Probably something like this for me. Though I can see Khan being ahead of Berto on the skill department as well.

    Khan fights are extremely exciting, it's like you're holding your breath every round because he might get wobbled, knocked down or knocked out at any moment. But if we're talking about exciting because of the kind of action the fighter brings to the fight, I'd say it's Ortiz - Khan - Berto.

    You can go any way on ability but Ortiz has the most exciting style by a mile.
    The way he closes distance and the pop he gets makes him one of the absolute must-watch guys out there.
    Shame about the temperament and defence though.

    yup this is true Khan will fight anybody the kid has cojones and he believes in himself no matter what

    Bradley shamelessly ducked him and shamelessly celebrated the Pacquiao robbery
