Go and rewatch all 12 rounds of the Klitchko fight, I dare you!
It was a masterclass of mental intimidation but not entertainment.
chisora 2 was even worse, just dreadful. worse than haye-valuev and haye-wlad too.

thought tbf, tyson was a really fun fighter coming up for the most part, and after beat wladdy was in some good ones too. kinda reflects his diversity, he can win using many diff styles

Oh wow, yes I forgot Del Boy 2...
I think I might have (rightly) erased it from my memory. And I inexplicably love Del Boy, who would get a shout here if it wasn't for that and a couple of others where he just didn't try..

How about Lewis Ritson?
I've only seen about 8 of his fights and they were all entertaining.

Hard to go against AJ or Whyte. In plenty of tough fights, not the most skilled but you always get something interesting.

One of our esteemed mentioned Parker & Takem. I thought the Takem fight was alright, but it behooves me to agree the Parker fight was meh.
Does the Klitchko FOTY make up for one or two blips? I would say yes :wave:
And then there was Ruiz 2 :zzz:

I didnt mind takem, Parker was the refs fault, Ruiz 2 was boring but ill not hold that against AJ.... if you get a 280 lb fat little nugget that KOd you last time fair enough just to back foot potshot. Whyte and AJ are/were both entertaining because they hit hard and have suspect chins...
speaking of, fornicate price is entertaining while it lasts, that povetkin fight was was screammmming when he had pov hurt. Then when pov put the lights out but price was just standing in disneyland and pov being pov didnt just nudge him over gave him one of the worst KOs iv seen. a worthy watch the big truck.

I get it.
Thing is, we have had guys nominated you can't name a boring fight they have been in. We have agreed on 2 for AJ. And some would be within their rights to argue 3.
As for Price, he is a better HW candidate than AJ. Every time he steps in the ring, you just know something is going to happen. That's exciting. And I'm familiar with the KO, it was a statue KO, quite rare.
AJ Vs Ruiz 2 - not at all exciting.
David Price - pretty exciting.

I reckon Liam Smith is worth a shout here, always looks to press the action and has had some very entertaining battles. Josh Warrington too.

At a lower level I'd say Liam Conroy, tends to be in fairly exciting bouts, win or lose.

Lower level guys are fine :TU:
Guys with losses no worries at all. You can be entertaining even when your losing. We love guys who work hard, give it everything.
We love guys who seek redemption, we love guys who keep trying. We love guys who train hard.
And most of all, do their talking in the ring- with their fists.
Forget the over paid princesses, the belt protectors, the twitter battlers, we want genuine grafters here :bow:

People have very short memories if they saying Fury!

This was a guy who up until recently was considered a non ticket seller cos his fights were dull - aside from the Wilder and McDemott fights I struggle to see any that were exciting.

Wallin had the "drama" of the big cut but that was it - even Wilder 1 was boring in the most part, but yes that fight had some moments.

Klischko vs Fury was up there with the Nelson vs De Leon fight for dullness.

I'm a Fury fan, I'd pick him. I rewatched his Wilder fights more often than any fights of all other mentioned competitors.

Had he adopted the style vs Wilder 2 in most of his fights I would agree.

Joyce for me. He's had one sh*t fight, against Jennings. The rest of the time he always takes one to land one. He's fun to watch.

I've taken stick before for saying I don't really watch lighter weight fighters, so I'll choose my words carefully, but I'm sure Sam Eggington is tremendously exciting to watch but I really haven't paid him much attention, just because he's never really been on my radar. But I know you seriously hardcore guys love him.

I can't pick him if I don't watch him though, can I?

cheeseman, dilmaghani, taylor, warrington, all been in entertaining fights in recent memory, i like joyce too.

on a side note if we were to include americans of the last 10 years or so, james kirkland would be a good shout

He did, but the bastards at Sky didn't bother showing it, the one thing I'd tuned in for :lol: :brick:
