Which current boxers do you find entertaining?
This doesn't include just being in entertaining fights but generally having a bit of a charisma. Something that fighters today seem to lack from yesteryear.
Brandon Rios
Generally likes to go to war in his fights and doesn't mind acting the clown.
Manny Pacquiao
Mainly because he's the best fighter (not boxer) of this generation. Not only that, when he talks people always seem to stick around to listen.
Tyson Fury
For all the nonsense that comes out of his mouth, you can't deny you want to watch him in action. Singing after a fight is something I've never seen before.
I can't think of many more... Thoughts?

Rios - over rated one dimensional slugger with an iron chin. Awful attitude outside the ring. Thug.
swap him for Carl Froch.
Pacquiao - agree
Tyson Fury? Serious?
swap him for any pro boxer in the sport today please.

Always find Paulie Malignaggi good value, slick style in the ring and a great talker he knows exactly how to sell a fight. Also, enjoy his work as a pundit as he gives great insight and generally talks a lot of sense.
Never afraid to speak his mind when something grinds his gears, this is his latest rant which is worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3X_z4yNIvM&feature=youtu.be

Arreola - never know what you are gonna get from him, but he can be explosive both with his fists and his conflicted personality
Hopkins - boxings one man freak show, always something to look forward to, and gives you the feeling you are watching something ground breaking and exceptional these days
Sturm - I like his style, you know you will get at least 6 entertaining rounds from him. one of the more entertaining fighters who currently fills arenas in Germany

Re: Which current boxers do you find entertaining?
Gotta agree with Froch, and surprisingly Fury mainly just because you never know what you're going to get.
To add a few of my own:
Carl Frampton is an obvious one for me, exciting style, add to that being not only a fellow country man but a former class mate mains I'm always looking forward to his fights.
Miguel Cotto always comes to fight and have been a big fans most of his career.
Gennady Golovkin Just an exciting fighter and has that knock-out power that excites any fan.
All bar Fury are mainly for their in ring style etc. Would add Paulie to that list aswel, but would include his out of ring attitude too. Entertaining when he talks, seems willing to fight anybody and knowledgable. Usually in exciting fights too.

Kovalev - like how he somes to fight, very straight but every punch has spite.
Khan - love him or hate him rarely in a bad fight

Haven't missed a Frampton fight since Kris Hughes, also love watching Broner too (sometimes completely classless guy though i.e kicking Malignaggi incident to name one.)
When he was around Katsidis too

Re: Which current boxers do you find entertaining?
Donaire and Mayweather are the only 2 guys I'll stay up to watch at silly O'clock to watch no matter who their fighting. Donaire is my favourite fighter right now and really pushing Gatti for my favourite ever, I just don't know how you can't like the guy. Mayweather I just get the feeling these days that each time you watch him outclass someone at his advanced age so easily that your seeing history being made, not always exciting history but still history.

Maidana an obvious one for me, his fights with Karras, Ortiz, Khan and Morales are all classics,, Ortiz himself is rarely in a dull fight either.

Re: Which current boxers do you find entertaining?
Fighters that I always make sure I tune into are: Adonis Stevenson, Manny Pacquiao, Lucas Martin Matthysse, Guillermo Rigondeaux, Mikey Garcia, Adrien Broner, Yuriorkis Gamboa, Miguel Cotto, Keith Thurman, Leo Santa Cruz, David Haye.
Each ones style of fighting appeals to me and not just in a power punching way. Some will say that Guillermo Rigondeaux, is boring but his performances and skills are truly a masterclass and captivating.

Re: Which current boxers do you find entertaining?
Floyd is the standout for me both in and out of the ring. Take the arrogance with a pinch if salt and you're looking at a once in a generation talent.
Love to get behind the Brita though so Froch is top dog, closely followed by Haye (I know, I know.....).
Love the Derry Matthews mention above, got to agree.
Other mentions for JMM, Cotto, Manny, Garcia (and Angel) and more recently Provodnikov & Stevenson.

Completely forgot to mention Groves! Always enjoy his fights, his style is right up my street. I make a point of ignoring his Chelseaness.
