    Maybe Henry Armstrong. It's hard to tell because not all that many made it to film, but he was always in wars, always was on the attack, threw loads of punches, fought through injuries, cuts, fought on when he was beaten. And he was an ultra-aggressive swarmer in style. That's probably all the boxes ticked.

    Naoya Inoue.

    You want to see perfect fundamentals and boxing masterclasses?

    Check.

    You want to see elite speed, power, and spiteful aggression channeled through a bit of the old ultra violence?

    Check.

    Iran Barkley is up there for me

    I wanna say holyfield but he loses some points for his latter career fights with Ruiz and Byrd and other snoozers.

    Mad Max: Tyson Fury Road was the most visually compelling and interesting movies I’ve ever seen. Not to mention exciting.

    So I’ve got to go with Tyson in this one.

    Who did he fight using the drunken master style? I think that was a Friday Night Fight on ESPN. Funny as hell.

    Kieth Thurman is pretty entertaining, telling stories while he's shadowboxing. Says Kieth "when I want a steak I go for a steak, I got money." Lol.
