    Maidana and Froch. There's something appealing with how crude they are.

    Also Morales and Winky Wright.

    Nigel Benn



    Followed by Tyson, Lewis, Hagler, Hamed, Barrera, Mike Watson. Manny Pac, Cotto, Calzaghe and Hatton in recent years, also got big respect for Floyd, in the ring not out.

    Duran, JMM, Toney, Barrera, Cotto, Chavez, Hagler

    I like guys who stalk but skilled and not reckless. Intelligent pressure fighters and come forward counter punchers.

    I'm going to have a lot of free time this week maybe someone could suggest me a fighter I might like hahaha

    James Toney, more often than not, is my top aesthetically pleasing style- my go-to viewing pleasure fighter.

    Thomas Hearns. His jab was a thing of beauty could watch him throw that punch all night. Combine that with his right hand and his speed, he was always great to watch.

    I really like Roman Gonzalez's style. An educated punch-boxing pressure fighter. Marquez too, similar but different.

    All time...how about Henry Armstrong? And Ken Buchanan. For different reasons obviously.

    Hard to say. I like both ends of the spectrum.

    I remember really loving Qawi...But I also liked Margarito and Kevin Johnson. Those three don't share a lot of common attributes.

    Salvador Sanchez.

    I could watch all of his fights one after the other and not get bored.
