Name three indisputable ATGs whose styles you really enjoy and three whose styles you don’t. This is not a comment on their merits as fighters - we’re talking ATGs after all - just a question of aesthetics and personal taste.
Do's: Mike Tyson; Nigel Benn; Roy Jones, Jr. Do not's: Floyd Mayweather; Wladimir Klitschko; Jack Johnson.
Do- Frazier, Hearns, Roy Don’t- Monzon, Hopkins, Calzaghe (all undoubted greats but don’t do much for me from an aesthetic standpoint, in fact I’d rather gouge out my own eyes than watch Calzaghe- Hopkins again)
Do: Ruben Olivares, Chucho Castillo, Juan Manuel Marquez Do Not: George Foreman, Rocky Marciano, Joey Maxim.
Do = Sugar Ray Robinson, Jose Napoles, Salvador Sanchez. Don't = Wladimir Klitschko, Carlos Monzon, Bernard Hopkins.
I absolutely love the styles of: Miguel Canto Jose Napoles Jung Koo Chang And I absolutely hate the styles of: Wladimir Klitschko Old Bernard Hopkins Carlos Monzon
Redundant for the "don't" category, but....... Do: Sanchez Yuh Saad Muhammad Don't: Monzon Hopkins Eddie Mustafa Muhammad
I like all great boxers even Muhammad Ali before anyone says otherwise. They were great for a reason and there are always things to awe at. I am a Emile Griffith fan, Lionel Rose fan and I like Nicolino Locche A LOT conventionally boring fighters are my taste usually.
I don’t think anyone ever has said “Oh Jeez can’t wait to watch Maxim fight, man am I the biggest Maxim fan”
