    I know it's your usually Serge humour but sum glass cannons are so fun to watch. People like green Wlad, Morrison or Moorer were so mean despite packin lotta of glass

    Chris Eubank *EDIT*

    Staff has warned me in the past about my "If you disagree it's because you suffer from tiny pee-pee" joke. I apologize if you caught the post before the edit. I forgot. It's really meant to be silly and stupid not offensive and if you were offended in any way I do honestly apologize.

    I'm just a clown doing some clowning bro. I trust in this context the line is okay unedited given it is in fact clean language.

    Manny Pacquaio, and JMM right with to him!

    Amir Khan - I was hoping this would be my addition to the conversation since most people are sour on him but @captain hook beat me to it. Say what you will, the guy came to fight, and didn’t mind taking the tough fights for the most part! And the speed! And the lack of durability! xD. His fight with Maidana is one of the best of the era.

    Carl Froch, Froch came to fight, and didn’t stop trying to win no matter how far back he was on the cards (Ward).. This guy NEVER went into “survival mode”, being content to just make it 12 rounds.

    Jean Pascal, felt like every fight this guy was in was exciting, win lose or draw.

    Here's a Halloween treat for you guys. One of my favorite lower weight fights ever. Were either of these men even in a bad fight?

    Only read the first page but Amir Khan deserves a mention. Right from the early stages of his career to the very top he was in some great fights.

    Yeah looked right through and no mention of Khan. I normally used to root for him to lose but you never knew what was going to happen and always enjoyed the fight even if he won.

    Marcos Maidana is another fighter who was great to watch and when Khan fought Maidana it certainly delivered. One of the best fights I've watched live on the TV.

    Two of us that I’m aware of mentioned Khan prior, and I also mentioned his bout with Maidana just a couple posts before yours.

    I’m glad to see him getting the recognition he deserves for being one of the most exciting guys of his era.

    I have Santos Laciar vs Shuichi Hozumi in good quality. It used to be on Youtube years ago but going through older posts I can see the channels that hosted them were terminated, which is a damn shame. Not sure what exactly got them in trouble, if it was that fight or others but I'm not putting it back up to find out, lol.

    If anyone is interested in it let me know and I'll send it over.

    I have always enjoyed Gatti and Nigel Benn and quite often watch their fights back.

    Depends on my mood which I find entertaining at the time sometimes I enjoy watching defensive boxers or technical boxers other times like wars.

    True but we must make sure we never praise glass-jawed freaks or fighters with below average punch resistance, unless that is it's for them doing the honourable thing and retiring from the sport out of shame and self-loathing
