    Is Oscar De La Hoya the most exciting Non HW boxer of his generation? Was he even the most exciting figher in or around his weight class?

    He was the greatest fighter of the late 90s (when Roy Jones was dominating a boring & weak Light Heavyweight division) but wasn't the most exciting.

    His fights made the most electric/exciting EVENTS.

    As far as most exciting/entertaining fights, no.

    Overall the entertainment level of his fights are alright, nothing special.

    Who was more exciting in the 90's when DLH was around? I can name a few, but would love to see the answers of others.

    The most exciting fighter from 1995-98 was Arturo Gatti. Then when 2000 came around, Erik Morales took over, and probably passed the torch to Manny Pacquiao somewhere along the line.

    Mundo, BewareofDawg and Relentless think Oscars a lot more exciting now than he was in the 90's. The internet photos recently really made them excited too. You know, kinda a common bond there, everyone excited and stuff. They love everything about their guy Oscar. It's that special kind of love (I think you know what I mean :lol: )

    Roy Jones
    Felix Trinidad
    Gatti''s fights were exciting as well

    Delahoya is not all that exciting in my opinion. But to each his own
