    I like runners with a really good clinch.

    I like different styles but I would say pure boxer is my favorite. It takes a lot to master that style. When it's done right, it's an aesthetically pleasing style to watch.

    If I say Holyfield, Frazier, Qawi are my favourite type of fighters to watch, does that answer your question?

    Holyfield was both a boxer puncher a counter puncher or a aggressive infighter IMO depending on who he was facing.

    I like those that actually take risks, but also is capable of fighting on the front and the back foot with the priority of going on the front-foot.

    Especially big HW's that are quite complete such as: Bowe, Lennox.

    I also love unique styles, and I think the HW division we see strong examples of this. Fury, Usyk, Zhang, Wilder, Kabayel - all have their very own style.

    aggressive pressure fighters. the type that want to dominate their opponent and force the fight, not avoid it. if they can do it with style and flair, like bam, inoue, beterbiev, etc... all the better.

    Hi Guys.
    The styles I am not that enamoured with first.
    Big Punchers/ Benn, Jackson, Wilder.
    Pure Boxers / Locche, Whittaker, Buchanan.
    I rather like the Arguello / Palomino/ approach, the neat precise methodical breakdown of the opponent, steady pressure, not leaping in, no manic rushing, just a measured look at the other boxer for a while, then slowly go up the gears, more to saviour I would say.
    stay safe guys, chatsoon.
