Boxer with the most exciting career?

JMM is up there. The 2000's were nothing short of spectacular because of him.

Nigel Benn is another.

Carl Froch, too.

 

my favourite growing up was charlie magri
he lived a few miles from me / never fought more than a few miles away and was huge in the london east end.

albeit we usually had to travel to wembley arena a bleak cold concrete shithole with a good view from the upper balcony but for a country with just 4 flyweights at the time to have charlie was great.

he was an all action fighter with very heavy hands for a flyweight / unfortuantly he was a little chinny as well but it made for great atmosphere/fights /entertainment and he along with maurice hope / were the start of the british revival / which lucky for me was when i first started going to boxing.

went from magri to mcguigan another favourite of mine albeit he should have fought azumah.

 

tyson by far

 

JMM. End thread.

 

Roberto Duran, Evander Holyfield, Julio Cesar Chavez

 

Tyson
Benn
Pac
Holyfield
JMM
Froch
Barrera
Morales

 

I agree with Morales & Marquez. But Barrera was in his fair share of boring fights. Barrera wasn't always exciting to watch

 

Jamie Moore - he may not have got to world level (mainly because of having a **** transexual midget promoter) , but Moore was never ever in a dull fight, so many fight of the year type exciting fights he was like the European level Gatti.

 

His fights with Rhodes & Macklin are domestic classics.

 

It's Tyson and not even close.

His fights were pleasing to the eye in a way that even someone who had never seen a boxing match before could instantly recognize that he was special.

His early fights had the uneasy feeling of a public execution. His later fights had the atmosphere of a circus. Following his career was fascinating and came with a weird guilt that you were watching a man melt down before your very eyes but you couldn't look away.

 

Margarito?????
GTFOH!

 

EVANDER
MARQUEZ
GATTI
LEONARD

 

John Ruiz

 

Tyson and Golota both had kind of a trainwreck waiting to happen atmosphere to their careers.

I like Usyk too. Mainly to watch him defy the conventional thinking that a smaller man cannot beat a mega-heavyweight. His fight vs Joyce was excellent.

 

Bar none. People still talk about Tyson today. He was universally recognized as the baddest man on the planet. I wont go that far, but there's no doubt when he fought, everyone talked about the fight even the general public.

People knew Tyson by name. Ask people about Pacquiao and they'll say yeah that asian guy.
