    All time...RJJ, he was fresh, slick and unconventional. Also Willie Pep, his style always impressed me, it's like he always knew where his opponents hands were even if he couldn't see them.

    Wilfred Benitez

    Smooth and confident. Knew where he was in the ring at all times, tremendous footwork and gauge of distance.

    hmmm... all time based on overall career probably Holyfield. Gave a lot to the sport. One of the greatest. I also respect him as a man for the fact that he never ever talked down about an opponent. You dont find that too often.

    All time:-

    Mike Tyson.

    Excellent defence, awesome attack and he was just a big ball of pissed off fury.

    How can no one like a guy who goes out with the intention to KO the opponent.

    A brillaint figther. IMO the best example of a boxer puncher.

    But its not about the boxing its the way he conducted himself

    Arguably the most technically proficient boxer/puncher of all time.

    David Tua, because of his devastating KO power. I prefer offensive fighters.

    Floyd mayweather. Skillfull, accurate, quick, great defense, devasting when he lets his hands go (mostly at super feather) and great ring general.

    Monzon.

    I like that long, languid and extremely clean style. You never saw him waste anything.

    All time-Sugar Ray Leonard. The man had it all. Closest thing to being a perfect fighter. Love it how he came out possessed in the 14th against Hearns. When Ray saw blood it was pretty much over.
