    Boxer-puncher. I like the Nonito style. He can box and he can slug it out if needed.

    all fighters shown on hbo are skilled, you dont get to that level with no skills.

    I enjoy watching all styles of course but my favorite is the boxer with great movement and defense. That is the gold medal style and a successful professional boxing style as well as proven endless times.

    Defenseless one dimensional fighters also entertain me but there's no way in hell you'll find someone like me saying how that style requires more "balls" than defensive ones, you'll only read that from idiotic newbies. What the one dimensional guy is missing is movement, flexibility and just naturally gifted physically to be able to move that fast, counter, move, turn your opponent, land extremely fast punches, move...etc. An aggressive fighter dreams to have that kind of physical utility to take advantage of.

    Scar, you like your fighters to do more talking than fighting.

    Not necessarily, defenseless excitement can get you there. You want to tell me Margarito, Gatti(RIP), Ward, Pavlik, Mayorga and many others similar are skilled?.

    they are/were skilled, you dont get to the level they did without having skills or any bum off the street would have done it and made millions.

    I really enjoy fighters like Salvador Sanchez and Marco Antonio Barrera; Who could box, punch, and brawl, were not afraid to go toe to toe, and were also great at counterpunching and would throw sharp combinations. I also enjoy fighters with good head movement, bobbing and weaving. And of course, body punching is always a favorite for me.

    I like that.A fighter that's not scared of a firefight? there are fighters who clinch and get on a bicycle which are less respected amongst warriors.

    Seems that boxer-puncher type of fighters are shockingly prefered by ESBers.
