    I say Floyd, at the moment.

    I think Floyd has been in the more interesting matchups of late. What he is doing at his age is quite impressive...beating top fighters in two weight classes, while giving up age and size.

    GGG is looking like the goods. But, he does not have 1 defining fight, yet. Not one. I am impressed by him. But, I guess I need to see him in with opposition, whose fate is not so predictable.

    Honestly, I felt Martinez's rise @ 160 was more impressive. Maybe because it seemed harder earned. The Pavlik and Paul Williams fights sold me on him.

    Golovkin by far. In fact, Golovkin offered to fight Void at 154, but Void ran and Void is still running from Pac...............

    Poll result: 102 to 1

    Floyd is definitely not an exciting fighter.

    not at this stage of his career. he's 37. but a 20 year old Floyd in his first weight class, like GGG, is far more exciting than GGG. The combos, and reflexes, just poetry in motion.

    GGG is the most exciting fighter in years, i was young when Tyson was at the end of his career so didn't see his prime but i'd say their similar in the sense that you can't take your eyes off the fight you known it can end any second.

    He had a string of very offensive fights before the switch to showtime.

    Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz, Cotto were all extremely entertaining imo. He was offensive minded in those 4 fights and then he switched to SHO, and got back with his father to tuneup his defense and preserve his body for this last run.

    I don't think GGG is SUPER exciting though. I just think he's more exciting than Floyd. GGG doesn't have the RJJ aura to him, nor the Tyson aura around him. He just has great power and knows how to set up shots. It's not must see TV in my opinion. He doesn't have the speed and smoothness of RJJ. And he doesn't have the Speed, Personality, or ferociousness of Tyson. He's just a really really good puncher. Not box office though.

    LOL. Golovkin is so exciting that his PPV rating is 0. :rofl:rofl

    I guess he is exciting as long as his fights are free, as in cheap beer. :yep

    Golovkin..

    But I do enjoy watching Mayweather also. He does have great skills.
