    Mayweather for me. Everything he does in that ring is a caculated move. Even walking back to the corner. And that pull counter of his is a thing of beauty. My favourite punch in boxing at the moment.

    While I don't agree that Pac has the most aesthetically pleasing style, I guess I can see where you're coming from. The guy really is a perpetual motion machine, he keeps moving, is fast and explosive to the point that sometimes when you watch other fights, you start feeling that they're a bit static and sluggish.

    That said, I think Toney's style is an absolute pleasure to watch. I was thinking Floyd or James Toney but sometimes I think Floyd (lately at least) lacks that bit of flash in his style, so I went with Toney.

    edit:
    Good shout out for Tyson, watching him bob and weave on his way to close range and then unleash those terrifying shots was incredible.

    James Toney here - I like how he makes highly technical boxing seem so easy. He looks so relaxed in that ring, leaning against the ropes, like he's waiting in line at the BK to order a burger ;)

    Watching Mayweather at his best? EG Dismantling an overweight Marquez, Taking apart Hatton, destroying the overmatched Gatti is a thing of beauty.

    I think this is one of the only times i've said something nice about mayweather. But the Marquez and Gatti highlight reels are incredible to watch.
