    Watch for how Zarate tosses out these punches that look like nothing and Rodolfo just goes reeling. It's maybe his most deceptive punching display and he was such a deceptive puncher. Also, the boxing in round 6 from both men is really good. I think it was six.

    Sincerity is eloquence enough. :good

    Joe Frazier for me. He personifies joy in one's occupation -while advancing into firestorms!

    I appreciate men like Lennox Lewis, Tyrell Biggs , Riddick Bowe, tall rangy skilled heavyweights who had natural talent but on the odd occasion brought some power tools to the table and threw the Jab outa the window, Mike Tyson too... I'd watch Mike just get his hands wrapped or shop for jewellery in the Forum Shoppes... He just had a special way of doing things , that cat was ghetto.......... Hell i was and always be a Tyson man... His era was a thing of beauty to see first hand , the time was pure magical...

    An Ali interview or his fights always bring a smile on my face the way no other fighter can

    Barrera vs Hamed always gets me in a good mood.

    Yeah, me too...Jimmy Young and his approach and decision victories are as aesthetically satisfying as knockouts are to others.

    Mostly I prefer fighters like Dempsey, Tyson.... But in times of bad mood and stress I also like to watch more tactic-oriented fights. For example Walcott - Charles (when Walcott won the title). Or the fights Schmeling vs. Sharkey. Or the rare films of Gentleman Jim Corbett.

    Hearns. Somebody is getting knocked out in most of his fights, on occasion it would be Tommy getting his cranium cracked. I always enjoy watching Tommy.

    You'd think you might want to watch a destroyer, but I always find watching a real classy boxer so much more calming to my mood if I'm in a strop.

    Watching someone work to a gameplan and execute it perfectly, nullifying what their opponent tries to do, you just end up in admiration of it.
