    Only the old Paquiao version, he is been in some of the biggest stinkers of history recently: Clottey, Margarito and Mosley

    Arthur Gatti has gotten a bunch of mentions, as he should, but let's not forget his dancing partner Micky Ward. Besides the fights with Gatti also had a classic with Augustus and always came to fight.

    in my opinion, sugar ray robinson, st. valentine's day massacre, basilio fights, graziano, fulmer, bobo olson, randy turpin. basically all of the fights on video between robinson and the guys I mentioned were wall to wall action battles where those guys, (all but graziano) naturally bigger and definitely bigger during the fight, tried to enforce their will on the sublimely skilled and unbelievably, past his prime robinson, who lost in some cases and won under impossible circumstances in others. look those fights up and watch them in full if you believe otherwise.

    honorable mentions are 1. evander holyfield: qawi, dokes, cooper, czyz, all 3 bowe fights, tyson 1, mercer, foreman and both moorer fights

    2. matthew saad muhammad- marvin johnson 1 and 2, conteh, yaqui lopez 1 and 2, qawi 1, richie kates, sutherland and others.

    schoolboy bobby chacon, bazooka limon, ray mancini, rocky graziano and el flaco explosivo alexis arguello.

    Tyson had the best highlight reel of knockouts IMO (followed by Louis and Jackson).

    Fighters like Saad, Chacon, Gatti were more exciting for dramatic two-way action bouts.

    [Truth] if Vitali fought all the time like he did against Lewis, he'd be widely regarded as one of the most exciting boxers ever.
