    Who is the fighter you most enjoyed watching from the last 20 years?

    For me, it's Roy Jones.

    Mike Tyson. Even when he was washed up I got goose bumps when that guy walked to the ring. The night of the Lewis fight I went all to rubber with the security guards in the ring and everything, I nearly **** myself. There was just something about that fighter.

    HM for Israell Vasquez.

    Gotta say Pacman. His fights are always exciting and they're generally the ones the fans are asking for!

    A mention for Morales as well!!

    Roy Jones? Really? Even when he had those fights letting David Telesco go the distance and let all of those other vastly inferior fighter hang around for way too long coasting.

    Micky Ward was less mainstream, but he never learnt to be a cutie ala Gatti and gets the nod over him.

    A man with more class who is in with a shout would be the Marrickville Mauler Jeff Fenech.

    Not sure. But of the recent guys I have to say I'm always eager to watch Gamboa's next fight, as whover it's against you're guaranteed excitement.
