    Terry Norris. He was fast but polished, he was aggressive but accurate, and his reflexes were top notch as well.

    He can do it all, he can bang, he can box, punch from short range and long range and fight on the inside if an opponent dare come that close.

    Yeh such a good ring general aswell

    Missed him out stupidly, such an excellant boxer. Always doing soemthing moving, spinning feinting....

    Excellant fight that, the skill level was through the roof

    Great choices

    You would really appreciate Rose, Zapata and Famechon especially Famechon

    Alexis Arguello is another poetry in motion at times

    Willie Pep made it look easy at times, so does James Toney and Pernell Whitaker.

    Ezzard Charles and Jersey Joe Walcott are also wonderful to watch.

    I loved Durans style agression coming from a boxer/puncher and in the Dejesus rematch the switch from body to head attack and how he broke Esteban down.

    I loved Ken Buchanan, good legs and jab and he had some pop

    Joe Louis the way he put his power perfectly behind his short compact combo's and felled many a big man

    Willie Pep and Nicilino Loche

    Rocky Marciano, He was the on the attack but smart and could bust up a Rythym fighters momentum and often beat them to the punch with a well timed and odd angled bomb.

    SRL Speed, power,movement, and Killer instinct

    SRR...He had it all, fought in a thick era and had a 128-2-2 record going into the Turpin fight

    Jersey Joe Walcott....one of the cutest, had great legs, quick hands and KO power in both. He was not an aggressive fighter but could drop you or KO you with either hand and then coast

    The most beautiful style I've seen belonged to...

    Ray Leonard.

    Yep. Not only did he have the legs, but his punching was so well-coordinated and crisp and technically sound that it was ...elegant.
