    Pleasing and exciting:

    Frankie Randall, Matthew Saad Muhammad, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roy Jones,

    Pleasing and not exciting:

    Wilfred Benitez, Tony Tubbs, Jimmy Young

    Ugly and exciting:

    Bazooka Limon
    Frank "the Animal" Fletcher
    Mustafa Hamsho

    Bakooka, Mustafa and Frank were exiting because they got hit so much

    Michael Spinks
    Marlon Starling

    Micheal and Marlon were awkward but had some good exciting stoppage wins

    Ugly and not exciting:

    Dwight Davison

    John Ruiz

    Yeah,..I guess the best way to describe Monzon-Napoles was "effortless" on the behalf of Monzon. He knew what he was doing all the ****ing time...and finally decided to turn it on in the 6th round...very deliberately and as the SI writer for that put it, "unhurried and majestic". One more round and Napoles would have been destroyed. Monzon got credit for this, as soooo many were expecting Mantequilla to not only beat, but outclass Monzon. Boxing Illustrated's Don Majeski covered the Monzon-Briscoe rematch and said Monzon went from a "good" to a "great" champion in those last 5 rounds of that 15 round rematch....the same could be said for the Valdez rematch too.
