    "Boxer-puncher"

    Slick skills but can drop the hammer when it calls for it. I'm a big fan of of guys like Mikey Garcia and Rigondeaux at the moment. Probably sound elitist but I hate it when guys slug it out with no skills on display, at the same time fighters shouldn't enter the ring aiming for a decision win. Show the high skill level but also push for the knockout. All fights should end in a knockout imo.

    I love fighters with killer instinct. Guys who want to finish fights. They could be boxers, brawlers anything as long as they try to look for the finish.

    I love slicksters\pure pure boxers like Mayweather, Hopkins, Toney etc

    However i love a fighter who has these great fundamental skills, but is also happy to mix it up. Like Marquez for instance.

    And i am not really a boxer myself, but if i was i would want to Box like Mayweather... mainly for health reasons.

    Defencive. I just love it when a guy is infront of another and just can“t be touched.
    I myself prefer to use that style too since in the gym im always the smaller dude and my stamina is not that great due to health related issues.

    I like it all! Watching guys in a war of attrician is great and exciting. Watching guys think and out smart their opponent , breaking them down with precision and methodical technique. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a strategic battle. It's the difference between using a seal team to kill an enemy opposed to destroying an entire city to achieve the same goal. I love to sport and I can appreiciate what these guys do.

    Floyd,Ward,Rigo,Winky and Hopkins appeal as much to me as Froch,Arce,Rios(at times) Lucas JMM Cotto etc.

    Anyone who is a great exponent in their own preferred way appeals to me.

    And I have a particular fondness for the no frills orthodox brilliance of Arguello and Lopez along with later Barrera.

    Haven't fought boxing but in sparring, I've been using a variation of it as I get hit far less using that style than any other style. Obviously not as skillfully as Floyd.
