    Strange list, but anytime Sports Illustrated writes anything about boxing that is positive than I can't really complain.

    Saad, Pryor, Fletcher, and Chacon were extremely exciting fighters of the late 70s/early 80s.

    Frazier was exciting, so was Basilio, Ward, Morales, Vazquez, etc...

    You replaced key words in all your summaries with embeds.

    Ali was great but he wasn't 'thrilling'. WTF is this bull****? It seems like every boxing list needs to have Ali on it.

    Jones's style didn't really become much less exciting after G-Man's tragedy.

    It was really the move to LHW and facing bigger guys.

    In almost all the fights Jones had directly after Benn-McClellan, he was explosive and exciting.
