I know alot of you watch boxing, so here are 5 entertaining fighters, some current some past, that you can enjoy if you haven't seen them before .
5. Emmanuel Augustus - known as the drunken master, mainly cause at times, he fights like he is drunk. Career 30-30 type of guy, who Floyd Mayweather Jr has said was the toughest fight of his career. Augustus got screwed by alot of bad decisions but he is fun to watch. His career is winding down with last weekends loss.
4. Marvin Hagler - tough as nails seek and destroy southpaw machine. Most known for losing Middleweight title to Leonard, but damn was this guy just a monster. One of the most ferocious fighters ever. Brawl with Thomas Hearns is the closest boxing fight to an MMA fight IMO.
3. James Kirkland - the recent guy that reminds me of Hagler, he is in prison at the moment but gets out very soon. Was lookking like the next big thing at Jr. Middle util being convicted. Power, power, and oh ya more power. Went through crazy work outs.
2. Yuriorkis Gamboa - athletic freak from Cuba, fast tracked to be the next Roy jones Jr, he tastes canvas often but is fun to watch and so athletic he (like Roy Jones) gets away with things he shouldnt be doing. Undefeated at the moment.
1. Aaron Pryor - The fucking Hawk, this guy was the bad guy of boxing. Tyson wishes he was as ferocious as Pryor, his staredowns were legendary, and his fighting style was a mix of Henry Armstrong and Tyson, he was a freak, would take your best punch and come after you with vengeance. The most ferocious fighter I have ever seen, in MMA or Boxing.

That vid is missing the greatest moment of Augustus' career, when he hit Trujillo with that fucking double jab. I almost pissed myself.

I saw augustus(think it was Burton at the time) vs Ward on Friday night fights way back when, and man what a fight. This came just prior to Ward vs Gatti, and only a small step below it in terms of excitement. Probably one of the top 5 boxing matches I've ever seen.

I saw Emmanual fight on an undercard of a Joe Calzage fight or something last year. The best fighter with that kind of record you'll find.

How about that mysterious black bottle that Pryor drank from against Arguello?

no one really knows what was in it
what we do know is he knocked Alexis out in 10 without the bottle instaead of 14
put nothing past Panama Lewis though although shit Luis Resto says shoukd be taken with a grain of salt considering it took him damn near 20 years to admit he knew what was going on
