    Technicians. Not necessarily defensive because that can be frustrating at times but guys like Mayweather, Golovkin, Gonzalez, Ward, etc. I think it's the thinking fighter, the guy that picks you apart mentally and has pinpoint accuracy.

    boxer/punchers I like - lewis, kovalev, Mitchell, lebedev, Thurman.

    But id say my favourite style of fighting would be The Swarming Style:

    Pryor, Mikhaylenko. etc

    Boxer/punchers.

    Fighters who can box beautifully but are also exciting by being able to knock their opponent out at any time is the most entertaining style to me by far.

    I do like watching all types and do enjoy good technical skilled boxer like fmj, lara etc
    And even defensive master like sweet p
    But my fav is a good old brawler vs a brawler just out of entertainment, loved watching the likes of benn, gatti etc

    High volume, high boxing IQ, with blazing hand speed and a brick for a chin

    Intelligent fighters; when a boxer can use his brain more than just physical attributes. That's what separates the greats from the good.

    Don't have a favourite...

    Good match ups is what I care about. Will almost always make for an interesting fight on some level.

    I might be abit of a sucker for boxer punchers. Who isn't though? However i'm not really fond of GGG.

    Technicians. People that embody the actual sport of "boxing". I understand boxing's a business but these so called entertainers of the sport get exposed easily abeit Pacquiao and Donaire and they dumb down the sport as a whole a la Pac****s that watch fights in slow motion.
