Is there any other fighters more exciting than Eggington and Conlon? love watching both. More or less guaranteed excitement.

Frampton for me is the most exciting fighter to watch on these isles. He can mix up it very well, he can bang and he box. Always great to watch.

Framptons my favourite fighter mate. I can't always enjoy his fights because I get nervous like a big fuckin girl

After his last fight you got to put Joshua in the mix

Yeah fair point. The Whyte fight was thoroughly enjoyable as well

If anyone deserves to win a world title it's Paul ' Smigga' Smith,shown nothing but hard work and dedication the way he has fought the top contenders on his was to becoming mandatory challenger, utmost respect to the 'real gone kid'

The first two names that came to my head when I saw the thread title were Frampton and Eggington.

Tommy Coyle is also usually quite exciting, though usually for the wrong reasons. I also can't remember the last time I wasn't excited during a Callum Smith fight.

Coyle is a decent shout

Joshua and Frampton

Khan is always good to watch with his glass chin

I also like watching brook

Callum is a good boxer but he's been in right drab watches imo. If he doesn't blast them early he gets boring imo

George Groves, Joshua, Khan, frampton, eubank jr

Not saying they are the most exciting but they are normally in good fights.

Eggington is a good watch except vs skeete where he was taught a lesson in boxing on the back foot

Skeete was a mad matchup for him because of him a size IMO

Well that and his skill

Yeah it was, physically big enough with the boxing skills too. Gavin was just too small

Eggy has that thing Manny S used to talk about, pressure from a tall fighter can be difficult to deal with, a longer jabbing fighter can offset that

Jamie Conlan and Sam Eggington were the first that came to mind.

I find DeGale's fights entertaining. He can show world class skill one minute and then let his opponent back in the next. Despite his boxing ability he seems to get drawn into fights.

Eubank will probably be in some good fights due to his style, if he ever steps up the level of competition.

If Whyte's fights with AJ and Del Boy are anything to go by then he'll be in some good scraps in the next few years. Joshua himself is good to watch to be fair.

At a lower level fighters like Buglioni (poor defence but game and can bang), Price (powerful but chinny), Coyle and Masher are worth watching.

The miserable Twitter hardcore brigade saw their arse when someone on Sky said this on comms, but he is a bit like a poor man's Margarito with his height and relentless pressure when he gets going.

Frampton, Joshua, Eggington, Conlan

Also even though he hasn't been active of late Andy Lee has had a hell of an exciting career to follow, though he hasn't been in a particularly exciting bout in a while now.

It's fairly self-evident I would have thought

Against a stereotype pressure fighter they're often short so at least you can either take a half step back to maintain distance, or you've got better chance to beat them to the punch, a long-armed guy coming forward throwing volume is just more awkward as he can start his attacks from greater depth distance, quite obviously IMO

I can only get truly excited with a fighter that shows a potential for greatness. How many UK fighters today show the potential for greatness? Perhaps Joshua. I thought Brook and Frampton had it but their carriers hasnt gone how I hoped. Brook can still do it but I have a bad feeling he will get crushed by Spence.

He isn't exactly active and sure people think he is a bellend.

But has Amir khan ever been in a bad fight ???

Khan would top my list.
Lots of speed and lands plenty and you are always on the edge of waiting for him to get flattened.

The fights where he got hurt but survived and came out with the bravado act despite clearly being on unsteady legs. Those can be very enjoyable

I can't stand Khan but he's rarely in a dull fight. Exciting to watch.
