    For me, entertaining is big fights against the best in the world.

    The obvious answer would be Haye, he should be the most entertaining for fans over the next few years. However, all he's done at heavyweight is beat a guy Audley had already beat. He could get knocked out in a round against the first decent heavyweight he fights, That wouldn't be very entertaining for the next 4 years.

    Khan, same thing for me. His style isn't as entertaining and his talking isn't as entertaining as Haye. But if he can get to world class and get into the biggest fights when Haye doesn't, it'll be him for a long time.

    Whether Hatton and Calzaghe can stay around for that long and get some massive fights is questionable aswell. Hatton-Pacquiao, Hatton-Cotto/Mayweather II are still the closest to huge worldwide fights for a Brit that could be made within the next year.

    I'd have to say Haye, but he could still be the biggest disapointment for entertainment over the next 4 years, cause he's get a lot to back up.

    Could the same not be said of Khan ?
    First decent LW and he could get KO'd in a round.

    Yes, I said they're virtually the same thing. If one makes it and the other doesn't - the one who succeeds is going to be the better entertainment.

    Calzaghe's entertained me for years so i voted him, aside from a couple of stinkers all his fights have been great. No doubt Haye will take over the mantle though.

    Hatton is boring and hugs.

    Haye is very exciting because he can stop a guy with one punch or get stopped with one punch. Chinny bangers are always fun.

    Khan fights duds so can not be called exciting.

    Calzaghe is at the top of his game and has given us some great fights recently but without that one punch KO he does not come top of my list.

    Nicky Cook is good to watch.

    Arthur is also decent to watch but needs some good fights.

    Junior is just plain awful to watch, even when he was good.

    Enzo was exciting against Haye but him knocking out a bunch of duds hardly gets the pulse racing.

    David Haye for me.
