Naoto Takahashi, his career was short but he was in 4 or 5 insane fights, sadly his career ended early due to those wars and their damage

Tyson disappointed a lot... In some fights -- like the Tucker, Smith, Douglas, Ruddock, and Lewis fights... He stood around a lot didn't do much.

Benn was a guy I wouldn't watch if you paid me... Too crude... Salvador Sanchez never disappointed me... If you gave him a thing you were going out.

joe louis wasn't exciting in the sense that, say, gatti was, but his stalking created huge suspense. the other was bound to make a mistake eventually, or louis would force one, and out came the murderous combinations.

Over the last forty or so years, some other exciting fighters included Mickey Ward, Danny "Little Red" Lopez and Bruce Curry. One of the most exciting bouts that I have seen in person or on television was Curry's bout with Monroe Brooks.

Yep, I remember Bruce Curry vs Monroe Brooks. It was a slugfest. A great fight. It's ironic that not too many people in this forum remember this fight.
