    Pacquiao is obviously most exciting

    Not sure Froch is the most exciting or entertaining, but he's certainly been good value for money.

    Has fought everybody in the division, and more often than not away from home.

    Very rarely in a dull fight.

    GGG fights are all the same really, good to watch but you pretty much know whats going to happen, Marquez you have a case for with Pacquio. All of Frochs fights have been key fights in the division aswell and a lot near 50-50.

    These Froch fights stand out for me:

    Pascal
    Taylor
    Kessler 1 & 2
    Groves 1 & 2

    I think the Pascal fight is my favourite out of all of them.

    Lucas Matthysse is the fighter I personally find most exciting to watch though. I love watching him fight.

    Ah that injury was bull**** came out the same day as the Chavez announcement, havent heard much out of GGG but Froch doesnt seem too keen on it, if more hype builds though he might take it.

    Strongly disagree with everyone saying Pacquiao

    He spent many of his fights in with guys tailor made to make him look amazing

    Froch had the ***** to fight everyone and at their proper weights too

    Froch might not even be the most exciting fighter named Carl from the UK. That distinction might belong to Carl Thompson. Nigel Benn was another very exciting fighter from the UK, too. He deserves extra points just for being the first and only person in human history named Nigel to be described as exciting.

    not great skills but its his desire to engage, plus taking on the best, which makes him one of the most exciting.

    although you are more often than not facepalming whilst watching over his willingness to absorb punishment.
