    I Know I Like Speed Guy's That Jab A Lot Like Muhammad Ali,or Counter Punches Like James Toney,or Big George Foreman In The 90's. Slugger's Are Pretty Pretty Fun To Watch Too. What You Think?

    I appreciate all fighters, Barrera is my all time favourite who was a slugger early on, but turned into a counterpuncher later on. I also love Ray Leonard who would be put in the speed category, and Margarito who is a skilled slugger.

    I prefer the Nigel Benn/ Mike Tyson come forward power punch type fighter. Ducking weaving their way to the inside and throwing bombs.

    Technical boxers. Kessler, Alexeev, Dzinziruk. That is my style.

    Failing that, as long as its proficient and nothing sloppy its all good. I love watching good technical pressure or a good counterpuncher as long as they are fairly active with it.

    Not keen on brawlers.

    Not hate. I mean I'd still watch it...its boxing and I love the sport...but its my last choice of style.

    I mean the Hatton style of brawling and mauling is terrible on the eye. Even Gatti and Ward which I can see is exciting for some, for me no, I'll go down the pub if I want to see that. A Barerra/Morales war is far better to watch, as the skills are there too.

    Slick counter punchers and anybody who's technically gifted. These are my prefered options but as long as you've got heart then i'll enjoy watching you.

    Please tell me about Hatton's exciting fights. Post Tszyu. He was better in the WBU day, but thats because the opponent lets you look good.

    Since then he has been a mini Ruiz.

    With a few exceptions I like pretty much any fighter who is really good at what he does. Sometimes a fighters personality to just totally ****ing ruins it for me no matter how good he is at what he does.

    If I was forced to pick one style as my favorite, I guess you'd have to call it "the sharp shooter;" think Alexis Arguello.

    Finally nothing bashing Gatti:tired .Anyway yeah,Hatton post Tszyu was pretty boring altough the Urango fight labeled a lot of the fights like that.Castillo time and Jose Luis's state made it nice,Collazo was ok,Mayweather was good,Maussa was ok,hell even Lazcano doesn't need that much to say it was watchable
