have to say i enjoy watching david lemieux, at least when hes in a winning fight, some real power there and just goes all out on the agression. loved his fight with stevens and tonight the first round 1 punch blast out of spike was nice/ and anthoer guy , limited but very fun , is that russian caveman kudrasyhov , who all 25 fights of his have ended in knockouts, 23 for and 2 against, with brutal ktfos on both end
and jamie conlan, my gawd hes been in some absolute bangers, what heart on that guy . and of course recently here we had lots of talk about how fun mike gomez was to watch
who were the most entertaining fighters for you, past or present, dont have to be world champs either, could be a small hall guy even

Ricardo Mayorga was hilarious to watch, goading his opponents, dancing in the ring, lunatic.

Khan is always good value.
Lightning fast, flashy, aggressive and exciting to watch. But with his poor defense and glass chin he can get ko'd by literally anyone.
I don't think he's had a dull fight.

Butterbean. The American flag shorts, his head sunk into his neck fat like an uncircumcised penis,, the morbid obesity, the fact he kept getting televised fights.

You're probably thinking of Darren Corbett, and would have to agree on that one.
Camacho actually became a really boring safety-first fighter after getting tagged heavily by Rosario, though was definitely a colourful character outside the ring.
Got to give a shout out to Emmanuel Augustus here and as has already been mentioned, crazy Mayorga. And we can't ignore Maidana!!

Can never forget the crazy Roy Ankrah taking Ronnie Clayton’s Empire title. Never seen anything like it!

Yeah that's who I'd go for, smoking cigars at the weigh ins too.

lol mayorgas success kind of baffled me at the time. i was boxing amateur and really into learning the suttle points of the sport, and here comes this slow crude as eff brawler who does everything technically awful yet beats a well schooled elite p4p level fighter and some other decent guys

Prince Naz was worth to mention as well. From the entrance all the way to the fight itself. Never been in a boring fight.

If I could only watch one fighters fights. It would be Earnie Shavers.
Pretty much he either knocked you out or he was knocked out. Very few decisions.
Man he was fun to watch
