50 Most Exciting Boxers Dec 22nd 2012, 11:04 Bleacher Report recently posted a slideshow of their ranking of the 100 Most Exciting Athletes of All Time. Lists of this sort are almost entirely subjective and this one is no exception. While it's fun to scroll through the names (almost all of which are contemporary athletes), I have a big problem with the inclusion of only three boxers! While those three - Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquaio - certainly belong on the list, there are so many others that were overlooked. So we've gone ahead and compiled our own list of the 50 Most Exciting Boxers of the Past 50 Years. This is not a pound-for-pound list. These are not necessarily the most talented or accomplished boxers, but the most crowd pleasing. The fighters who made every fight a must see fight. 1. Mike Tyson 2. Manny Pacquiao 3. Muhammad Ali 4. Roberto Duran 5. Arturo Gatti 6. Tommy Hearns 7. Matthew Saad Muhammad 8. Naseem Hamed 9. Erik Morales 10. Diego Corrales 11. Evander Holyfield 12. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. 13. Sugar Ray Leonard 14. Julian Jackson 15. Marvin Hagler 16. Joe Frazier 17. Bobby Chacon 18. Micky Ward 19. George Foreman 20. Michael Carbajal 21. Tommy Morrison 22. Roy Jones Jr. 23. Kostya Tszyu 24. Carlos Zarate 25. Danny Lopez 26. Israel Vazquez 27. Sonny Liston 28. Aaron Pryor 29. Carlos Monzon 30. Nigel Benn 31. Ruben Olivares 32. Vinny Pazienza 33. Ike Ibeabuchi 34. Salvador Sanchez 35. Ray Mancini 36. Pipino Cuevas 37. Rafael Marquez 38. Alexis Arguello 39. Marco Antonio Barrera 40. Iran Barkley 41. Jeff Fenech 42. Ricky Hatton 43. Livingstone Bramble 44. Ricardo Lopez 45. Rafael Ruelas 46. Earnie Shavers 47. Edwin Valero 48. Greg Haugen 49. Felix Trinidad 50. Johnny Tapia Just missing the top 50: Shane Mosley, Antonio Margarito, Ricardo Mayorga, Fernando Vargas, Miguel Cotto, David Tua, Dwight Qawi, Jeff Chandler, John Duddy. NOTE: If this had been a list of the most exciting boxers of all-time, then we would have surely found room for the likes of Jack Dempsey, Sugar Ray Robinson, Rocky Marciano, Stanley Ketchel, Willie Pep, Joe Louis, Rocky Graziano and Jake LaMotta. Who do you consider to be the most exciting boxer since 1960? And who's missing from our list? Vote in our poll. And tell us who's missing from our Top 50 ... and who doesn't belong on the list at all.
