    if you are trying to hook someone to the sport of boxing and they are interested what fighter would you suggest they watch?

    cause some of my friends said oscar vs floyd jr was boring and they will never pay or watch that again they almost wanted to throw up.

    many of them didnt even order the floyd jr vs hatton.

    Tell them to tune in to Pavlik-Taylor II. That is just about guaranteed to be rockin.

    If you like drama: Vazquez and Marquez go at each other. Pacquiao. Arce. Pavlik. Cotto. Chavez. Jr.

    If you like skills and excitement combined, your man is Juan Diaz, (of course Marquez and Vazquez), and Joe Calzaghe.

    If you like highly skilled fighters even if it means less excitement in the ring you should watch Hopkins, Wright, Mijares, Donaire, Mayweather, Calderon

    I told them about the first pavlik vs taylor and then at work they said they didnt watch it I was crushed...they told me cause taylor was boring when he fought before so they thought it would be boring.

    I hope they watch the 2nd one. I think when it comes to boxing some people are almost like prejudice they see one boring fight and they seen them all. IT is a shame.

    For you guys saying Pac,vasquez,etc an the other exciting little guys.

    I have trouble with trying to convince my friends about them, one of my friend told me "wtf? I don't wanna watch some kid who is anorexic fight." they said watching a featherweight fight is like watching two guys with feather fists they couldnt hurt a fly or punch out of a paper bag"

    I guess thats why boxing is kinda slumped the casual american fan wants to watch big men throw down like the heavyweights.
