Yeah pressure fighter vs counter puncher are always good to watch Technical fighters v those relying on being unusual or unorthodox. Think Naseem v Barrera. Clinton Woods V RJJ. flashy guys with no power vs 1 hitter KO artists are always interesting
My favorite is the pressure fighter vs. a counter puncher. Oddly enough, I root for each style about half of the time. I also love two straight ahead fighters in a battle of wills. Basically, as long as at least one of the fighters is willing to engage, it's a good matchup. Putting two counter punchers in the ring is horrible matchmaking.
Agreed - Hence why Mayweather vs. Pacquiao (in 2009) would have been a great match. Also why Haye vs. Wladimir was so **** (more technical, than **** I would say). I think the important thing is the contrast This isn't so much styles, but more attributes than anything else. So Speed vs. Power, for instance. But even in terms of 'styles' - It's still all about the contrast. Infighter vs. Outfighter. I think the only time when two similar styles make good fights, is with two brawlers, sluggers, swarmers, or in-fighters. Other than that, it's all in the contrast!
