    dunno if i'll get away with saying orlando canizales...as he was mainly early 90s....he was something to watch...rock n roll in boxing gloves he was.

    i adored khaosai galaxy as well....his fights were shown on itv at something like 2am on repeat.

    Tommy for me in the decade. The most exciting fighter in arguable the most exciting decade the sport has known.

    Matthew Saad Muhammad and Cornelius Boza-Edwards. Rare to see guys this tough and classy today.

    Tyson
    Leonard
    Holmes
    Hagler
    Dokes
    Bruno
    Fenech

    Besides a Holmes fight here and there, were any of these guys in a boring fight? They all had a great amount of electricity surrounding their auras.
