The eye tests!?

[prime]

Top 3 boxers of all time, When it comes to 'the eye test' not really about CV or resume as such, just complete fighters who you could watch all day...

Orlando canizales
Vasyl Lomachenko
Ray Leonard

[Cent0089]

I pick 5 boxers which boxing style a can watch all day
Mike Tyson
Marvin Hagler
Roy Jones
Saul Alvarez
Vasyl Lomachenko

[Ruthless-RKO]

Roy Jones Jr.

[world ranked]

Amir Khan
Naseem Hamed
Tommy Morrison
Terry Norris
Guy who are so offensive great but defense lacks make for beautiful watch. They could be so great but one shot could change the fight both ways. Your always on the edge of your seat in the fight. Like a beautiful tragedy.

[Boxing Writer]

Riddick Bowe, Evander Holyfield, Manny Pacquiao, Ray Leonard, RJJ.

How about guys who are so flawed and amateurish that they're painful to watch???

I hated to watch Joe Bugner, Duane Bobick, and Tommy Morrison..... Also, less painful, but still were hard to watch: Riddick Bowe, Andrew Golota, Amir Khan, and Dominic Breazeale ..... People actually thought they were good when they were getting hit with sucker shots.... There's tons of others, but those guys had some potential if they had a brain.

I hate to watch guys who can't defend themselves well and there's no excuse for it.... If you're in a business where grown men are trying to punch you in the head as hard and as often as they possibly can?? You should spend the majority of your workday developing your defensive skills...

Billy Soose said when he started his pro career he vowed to never get knocked out, or even get hit hard with a punch that hurt him.....or he would quit and do something else for a living.... He'd seen a hundred punch drunk fighters and wanted none of that.... He worked hard on defensive technique and was true to his word... When Jimmy Bivins hit him with a hard, clean punch that hurt him momentarily, he finished that fight and quit... Something he was ready for after 1 fight.

This isn't word for word but the best I can remember. "I had a Hell of a lot of fun boxing and trying to master various aspects of it... Boxing is loaded with characters and you can't beat it for laughs, but I never regretted quitting at 26... For me, 41 fights was enough to experience the fight game in full... It was a very glamorous time in my life, but there's a lot of other very interesting things to with your life beside fighting." .... The only other successful boxer I knew who quit so young was Eddie Mazon.

My favorites to watch are: Vasyl Lomachenko.... Mikey Garcia.... Anthony Joshua.... Oleksandr Usyk.... and Keith Thurman

This guy takes it.

I'm sure Stacy Goodson had someone in his stable of fighters that was equal to, or worse than Jimmy Smith.

Kalan is the poster boy for this. You are a lot like EO. Sum it up in your last sentence, and spare us all the other BS.
