hey ESB. can you name some fighters to watch, preferably from the lower weight classes, as i don't really have any knowlegde on them. i Like to watch jmm's fights if it's anything to go by. So Technical boxers would be nice. bit of a odd question i know :nut
If your talking about past and present look for.. Ricardo 'Finito' Lopez (Past) Nonito Donaire (Present) Roman Gonzalez (Present) I'll leave the other lads to get stuck in :good..
The above are a good pick considering who you like, but I'd say bypass them and go for the greatest little guys, who are equally entertaining and incredibly talented: Fighting Harada Eder Jofre Jung Koo Chang
As SKBsays though, if you like Marquez, Ricardo Lopez is a mini (albeit stiffer) version of him, seriously :deal Trained by Nacho and all sorts. His career was a let down but for pure enjoyment, great choice. Not broadening your horizons all that much though
Harada and Chang have decent biographies on there (if I do say so myself) and a wealth of footage :good Eder Jofre might not have a link to it yet :fire But is probably my favourite entry now, f'n ace :deal
maybe not technical but for my money, a very very exciting boxer to watch...i used to love watching him back in the 80's, i think it was itv used to show his fights, i also used to get vhs tapes of him through ad's in boxing news (later stolen...don't ask)... anyway...i normally get shot down round here every time i bring him up..i get told he built up on weak opposition....still, he's one of the reasons i grew to love watching boxing...khaosai galaxy..

I'd bypass the incredibly overrated Jung Koo Chang and go straight for the division's best in Myung Woo Yuh. Likewise, Gilberto Roman is a good technical Super Fly that you might enjoy watching. Oh, and Gerry Penalosa was proper ****in' good. Beautiful technique, wonderful combinations, and a razor tight defense. Watch his fights with Kawashima & Seung Koo Lee. I uploaded both fights on YT.
