Ali? Bigger than life figure, witty, funny, loudmouth... you name it. But that was just outside the ring. Inside the ring he was flashy, precise and KO'd dudes. On top of that he had numerous wars and rivalries.
Only certain fighters get my adrenalin running, currently Spence, ggg and AJ are topping my list. All time I'd have to add fmj Tito and gatti
Jorge Paez in the 1980's he was an original with colored Mohawk hair and for one ring entrance he wore a wedding dress . For all that he could fight and did well , at age 22 winning the IBF featherweight belt , as he moved up in weight he was less successful .
Yeah Hearns was great to watch. His power, combined with his susceptibility to punchers made his fights always tense and drama filled affairs. Plus his jab was a thing of beauty, I could just watch him throw that jab for 12 rounds and be entertained.
So so many to choose from. Each different style of boxer brings value and entertainment to the boxing scene. Some folks like KO artist. Some like the sweet science. Some like come forward - Offense is Defense. Some like Heart first, then IQ. Some like "Have it all". Personally, I'm not prone to liking just one style so it's hard for me to choose just one. Here's a short list of boxers that fit those categories: Roberto Duran George Forman Mike Tyson Aaron Pryor Marvin Hagler Tito Trinadad Joe Calzaghe Hector Camacho Pernell Whitaker Arturo Gatti Johnny Tapia Sugar Ray Robinson Sugar Ray Leonard Julio Ceasar Chavez Oscar DelaHoya Many Pacquiao
for a local fighter i never remembler michael gomez been in a dull fight (maybe apart from the irish fight) he use to just drag anyone he could into a dog fight and it was always a war sergio martinez always had a huge output as well,, and for a good mover he always used to get dragged into wars gamboa as well when he was motivated... he was either getting put on his arse or putting somone on theirs
So many: Ali, Gatti, Hearns, Duran, Leonard, Pryor, Armstrong, Robinson, Holyfield, Saad Muhammad, Fletcher, Graziano, Zale, Little Red, Yaqui Lopez, Chacon, Ward, Vazquez, Marquez just to name some. Of course entertainment value doesn't necessarily translate to actual greatness, but rather great fights. Just call me Captain Obvious.
