    someone who is primarily an offensive fighter?

    Opetaia? Innoue? Kabayel? Beterbiev?

    Uysk.

    I know most folks won't see him as offensive, but he damn well is!

    He certainly is an agressive front foot fighter but it is a very calculated agression. Other than against Dubois in his last fight, he rarely uses the lead hook with full power. Rarely uses powerful uppercuts. Its jab + left hand. He is great and overall the best fighter in the world but his aggression is too calculated for me to rate him as my favorite offensive fighter.

    Is crawford agressive? well, when he is agressive he is my favourite agressive fighter. It is like watching a cat hunting. Best killer instinct in the game.

    If we talk about raw agressiveness, then I agree with the fellow above saying pitbull cruz. His nickname fits to perfection. Kiko Martínez is retired, right? so he doesnt count.

    Are we mainly talking about come forward pressure fighters or are we talking about boxer punchers who can fight with an aggressive style?

    Favorite Aggressive Boxer Puncher:
    Naoya Inoue

    Favorite Come Forward Pressure Fighter / Swarmer:
    Roman Gonzalez (he's technically still active)

    Bam Rodriguez, hands down. His combo of Mexican-style pressure fighting and Lomachenko-syle footwork is a joy to watch. Aggressive, relentless, always aiming for a KO even when he's winning real comfortably on points.

    The best thing about bam rodriguez are the off the ring pictures where he wears glasses and looks like a school boy - and then you see him in the ring. The contrast highlights the agression even more :-D

    Agit Kabayel.

    The way he broke down Zhang with constant nightmarish body work was beautiful.
