    #1ppv attraction is boring and most people watch him , because they want him to lose. I don't think PPV numbers would be that great if not Mexican/puerto rican fighters in his division.

    Haye was exciting when he fought bums, but against Valuev and Wlad he was extremely boring.

    Kovalev, Stevenson at the moment are the obvious ones, both can deliver a knockout at any point. Pacquiao would have been a stick on for this a few years back but maybe not so much now, although the Marquez 4 fight was an ATG.

    I'm tempted to put Khan right up there too. Whatever you think of him, so many of his fights have been absolute rollercoasters and his fights are great to watch, I know it's the fashionable thing to hate on Khan because he's a bit of a twat but he is nearly always in exciting fights and I don't think anybody can really deny that.

    Here's my list of the 10 most exciting current fighters. Apart from the occasional dud fight due to their opponent being negative or running, these boxers always give you good entertainment and fan friendly fights by their attacking style and going for knockouts.

    1. Pacquiao

    2. Provodnikov

    3. Brandon Rios

    4. Marco Huck

    5. GGG

    6. Kovalev

    7. Adonis Stevenson

    8. Lucas Mathysse

    9. Khan

    10. Mike Alvarado

    If all boxers were like these 10, Boxing would be amazing all the time and not just amazing some of the time.

    Khan without a doubt probably because of his fraillty but he is super exciting to watch.

    Floyd for anyone who likes boxer's to have skill is a joy to watch.

    blah blah blah. There are hater opinions and there are FACTS. FACT, more people PAY to see Floyd entertain as he is the #1 draw in boxing. Hater's opinions worth 1/1000 of a cent.

    It surprises me to see so many people naming Khan, I agree he's entertaining, but going by how much he's mocked and reviled in this forum, one would think Khan is universally considered a **** fighter with no redeeming qualities :rasta

    and people are dismissing Gamboa's entertainment value too quickly imo, give him a break, the guy is still rusty from those 15 months of inactivity plagued by legal problems, maybe he deserves to be ranked lower going by his most recent performances but still top 10, he used to be awesome after all, really honoured his nickname ¨cyclone¨ back in the day. If he looks bad again in his upcoming fight, then yeah, maybe it'll be time to disown him as a top entertainer


    JMM can be very boring when he's not facing an aggresive come forward fighter, though

    he is :?


    :huh
