    Purely by excitement - not considering level if his performance, or overall skills (his and opponents).

    Mine would be:

    1. Fury 1
    2. Briedis
    3. Fury 2
    4. AJ 2
    5. Huck (one sided, but good stuff)

    Then there go Dubois, AJ 1, Chisora, Bellew and Danie Venter in no order

    Hard to rank them but my fav would be
    Fury 1&2, AJ 2, Bellew, Briedis, Huck, Bellew, Hunter

    Also, Glowacki was a decent fight, I remember being impressed by Glowacki after that fight

    1. Usky vs Fury 1
    2. Usyk vs AJ 1
    3. Usyk vs Gassiev
    4. Usyk vs AJ 2
    5. Usyk vs Fury 2

    I don't think many people were too excited for Briedis. That fight flew under the radar for a lot of people.

    1. Fury 1
    2. Breidis
    3. Fury 2
    4. AJ 2
    5. Bellew for the KO.

    I remember the Hunter fight being good aswell Usyk lost the first 3 or 4 rounds and had to rally late on.

    Only gonna list the ones I've seen since becoming a fan of boxing.

    1. Fury 1
    2. AJ 2
    3. Fury 2
    4. AJ 1 - I kinda wanna list this higher, but it was my first event so I think that might be clouding my judgement.
    5. Dubois

    Excitement is not the word I would use to describe any Usyk fight especially the fight tonight. How the hell was it exciting?

    Have not watched tonights, yet.

    Fury 1
    Joshua 2
    Briedis
    Joshua 1
    Bellew
    Chisora
    Hunter
    Dubois (because of controversy)

    My favorite sleeper is actually Johnny Muller. At the end of the second, Muller caught him with a huge, powerful jab, and then the bell rang, with Usyk looking really annoyed. The third started, and Usyk kept it cool...until he saw his opening, and then he uneashed hell. That was all.

    Glowacki was fun in a weird way too. Usyk won every round, but you could see by the look on Usyk's face and body language that he was feeling the Polish fighter more than he expected. Great example of being thoroughly outclassed but not going down without a fight.
