Most exciting fighters in Boxing today

3.Roman Gonzalez :

Roman Gonzalez in action

A 43-0 fighter with 37 knockouts in his resume will without a doubt make it into any “most exciting boxer” list!!! The former straw weight, light flyweight and the current flyweight champion is rewriting records each time he gets into the ring and in his last match over Edgar Sosa he extended his title defence streak further.

An aggressive fighter who lands accurate punches and has good knock out power, Gonzalez’s skill set is complete and fine tuned in such a way that the opponent feels it and the fans love it. Gonzalez is highly underrated due to lack of fan following for boxing’s lower weight divisions but his recent antics inside the ring has compelled more people to take notice of this fighter who is undoubtedly one of the best there is today.

2.Sergey Kovalev :

The Krusher

The “Krusher” is considered as one of the best there is at the moment!!! A prominent name in the pound for pound rankings he has given fans high volume excitement with his blistering knockouts and in-ring antics. Kovalev the Ring Magazine’s 2014 fighter of the year has almost cleaned up the Light Heavyweight division, beaten up legends and top fighters in brutal fashion with victories over veteran Bernard Hopkins and the rugged Jean Pascal being evidence of it.

Kovalev blessed with great footwork has an excellent jab which is among the best at the moment but his main asset is his straight right which shoots like a cannon and puts fighters out cold. His knock out power is evident in his perfect 27-0 record where 24 of them have come by way of it. A unification bout with Adonis Stevenson is looming large and promises to bring excitement to fans who are all waiting to see “Krusher” back in action.

1.Gennady Golovkin :

GGG

The most avoided boxer in the industry, “GGG” is steam rolling through everyone who gets in his way with his last match against Willie Monroe Jr. ending in a brutal knock out. Golovkin’s matches don’t last very long, only once has he been past the tenth round in his entire career and with 30 knockouts in 33 matches we can only assume his popularity and fan base.

Golovkin is excellent at cornering the opponent by cutting the ring and coupled with his excellent jab and vicious knock out ability he is quite terrifying!!! Golovkin is planning to fight bigger names in the near future and if he keeps doing what he is doing now one can only assume what his place in boxing history will be.
