    Who's your top 3 current MOST EXCITING fighters and why? Someone you always feel like you need to tune in for.

    Me personally...

    1) Gennady Golovkin - His power is amazing, you never know when the fight will end but you know it will. He's an intelligent, methodical KO artist.
    2) Keith Thurman - A very close second place, Keith has an exciting style to me, not mindless brawlers or two punching bags giving each other brain damage. He's got the personality to fit too.
    3) Lucas Matthysse - picking #3 was most difficult for me but I went with Matthysse because he has a fight that is candidate for FOTY.

    Honorable mention(s)
    Manny Pacquiao - Call me a hater, but I don't find him as exciting as he used to be. Still a great fighter to watch when matched up with the right opponent.
    Sergey Kovalev - Exciting for his power, but he didn't make top 3 because, despite his power, he's not "exciting" enough. I think it's his lack of athleticism.

    No list is wrong, let me know if I missed someone!

    Khan - The sounds he make while throwing them combos, such a turn on.

    Groves - He's smart & handsome.


    Froch - He's always been in some brutal wars.



    Keith Thurman - He got a exciting style and some nice hair.

    Froch- True Warrior, always in exciting fights!
    Khan- Never know what will happen, incredible at his best but always the chance of being KO'd
    Mayweather- Genius at work and a pleasure to watch him fight, despite the fact he's an arsehole

    really agree with your list with the gloveking as the obvious #1, but have to add Khan for never dull fights and obvious intrique because of the glass.
    Also snoop froch, david lemieux, gabriel rosado, james "T" kirkland and marco "capt'n caveman" huck deserve mention.

    Khan - Great entrainment value. He could be up 10 rounds to 1 on the points, but i still get that nervous uneasy feeling because one good punch and its lights out. And his hand speed is blistering. A great fan friendly style!

    Maidana - Was not too great in his last fight, but he brings the heat. Another fan friendly style. And he has KO power


    Golovkin - You know why
