    Emmanuel Burton also had a pleasing style, I think he could have done more with his career if he was a little more disciplined.

    As current fighters go I really enjoy Hozumi Hasegawa's fights.

    Gene Tunney was ahead of his time technique and stylewise, and still remains the most underrated heavyweight champion of all time.

    While I haven't seen alot of him Ralph Dupas had a beautiful style.

    Ken Buchanan was great to watch esp against Paduano.

    Anthony Stephens while not a great fighter had a smooth style esp against Bramble and Brazier 2.

    Roger Mayweather in his prime had a beautiful style-always looking to set up that righthand.

    i entered this thread with a conscious curiosity if someone will mention him.
    the ugliest dirtiest fouliest style ever.
    surpassing even lloyd honeyghan , tyson , marciano and holyfield altogether.
    mccallums' clinch+honeyghan's headbutts+faking lowblows (original) =
    hopkins' style.
    and yet , for tickboy he is greater mw than james toney.
    good clean styles belong to toney , griffin , jones , julian jackson .
    i saw almost every important toney fight and no fouls. also very efficient and effective style. jones' style is on his self responsibility but interesting to watch.

    Ike Williams is always a joy to watch, he had those floating, gliding movements and the beautiful jab.

    Hedgemon Lewis was another fighter who was very pleasing to the eye.
