Who was the most entertaining fighter in the last 8-10 years in boxing?

For consistent entertainment Froch is hard to beat. FOTY type fights against Pascal, Taylor, Kessler, Groves, stunning knockouts of Bute and Groves, even his lesser fights were entertaining due to the fact that he'd never give up.

Huck I also found consistently entertaining. Great fights against Povetkin, Glowacki, Afolabi multiple times, brutal knockouts when he got them, and just a general badass in the ring.

At lower weights Michael Katsidis was a total nutter.

 

what's your record if I may ask

 

Had 14 amatuer fights
Lost 2 controversial
Was supposed to debut 3 times since oct 13th but fights fell through.
I’ll be ready to go again early summer.

 

Boxing is first and foremost a fight. Look up the history of it. It’s ehy people are attracted to it and why it exists. It’s not a game of fencing. Over the years people have taken advantage of rules such as the hugging and point scoring, in another era you would lose a fight for running away, heck just look at Oscar - Tito.

You can’t tell me boxing is suppose to be this way, it’s just more this way now but for 99% of boxing history, not at all.

Of course pure outboxing someone can be appreciated, but hugging and jabbing your way to a win is not what I would call demonstrating better skills.

 

Manny.

 

Bunch of casuals putting your ignorance on display. If you watched any fights besides the ones on pay per view you'd know that Orlando Salido was the king of action 2011-2016

 

Worst list. Lara the most entertaining fighter in the last 10 year?

 

To each his own bro. I prefer skill and tech. Rather see a chess match over a brawl anyday. If a fighter doesn’t have a strong jab I fall asleep

 

I see no love here for Pacquiao

 

So I supposed that you meant the past boxers like John Ruiz who was the master of hugging and Hector Camacho who was the master of running and hugging. The current ones are BJS and Rigondeaux who are the master of running , jabbing, and hugging. I will never buy PPV to watch these boring boxers. They come to win not to fight.

David Price - Watching him fight is like watching someone play russian roulette
Amir Khan - Same as above although not quite as fragile

 

froch khan price at home, all because they liked to give it all or nothing for sure.

Pac , Brad and Kov abroad, they never afraid to turn it into a war.


Clearly its not about ability, since the range is vast here. Its about a certain Gatti-que.
