    The fighter few others seem to enjoy watching/like. Whether it be for their style, attitude or whatever else.

    I'll get the ball rolling.....

    Adrien Broner for me.

    His fights are usually entertaining and I have to admit I find him quite amusing....accept most will disagree though.

    Felix Trinidad, Jr. IMHO he had one of the most interesting styles I've ever seen. He fought right-handed, and his jab was his right hand. It was deadly accurate, and it set folks up for that lethal left hook.

    If I could go back to younger days, I've often thought I'd love to give his style a try, since I'm a lefty like he is.

    The only drawback is that would seem to open one's chin up more than other styles.

    Not sure how Trinidad falls under a 'guilty pleasure' ?

    Many backed him during his career and he was exciting to watch.

    Tommy Coyle for me.

    He's be no means the most gifted boxer out there, but the lad gives 100% every fight and has the heart of a lion. I always enjoy his scraps.

    Always liked John Mcdonut Mcdermott, he is actually pretty decent fighter at british level. gave young tyson fury all he wanted and more, got revenge on his 1st round ko off matt skeleton and has a good punch and good fighting spirit, shame he loves mcmuffins too much.

    And the only reason I feel guilty is due to the slightly diminished popularity of the sweet science among America's youth... I truly believe if the sport was marketed diffrently that young Americans would have an interest in the sport as fans and boxers. but unfortunately it's not that way. And nobody but trainers and gyms making an effort to involve our youth..

    Completely agree with you on Coyle.

    Love watching Crolla too. Never in a dull fight and is improving massively with each fight it seems.
