    If you want to see all out action, Toughman contests or fights featuring guys like Vinnie Mandalone or Butterbean are the best bet. For those who enjoy the more subtle skills of expert world class professional boxers , maybe Wlad would be perferable to the caveman clubbing of Sam Peter.

    I like exciting punchers, but I don't really like it when they swing wildly and ugly.

    Valero, Peter, Ponce, etc...

    Now granted I loved the Peter-Williams and Ponce-Look 2 knockouts, but usually I like the more technically sound punchers.

    Tyson, Hearns, Liston, Jackson, etc...

    Wlad can end a fight at anytime with one highlight reel shot with either hand. That creates a lot of exitement in itself. It's all about anticipation. He is also an excellent boxer and i can appreciate the skills he demonstrates. He can dominate a top hw with his jab alone....i like that

    The Goat Herder relies on rabbit punches, low blows and senile refs to get the best of his opponent unless he's fighting stalwarts like Julius Long.

    Sam Peter is the most exciting heavyweight out there today bar none.

    I like the flash *******s with mad reflexes and movement who can make an opponent look foolish...then again I like nerveless boxers with solid basics who can stand in front of someone capable of harming them and simply outmanoeuvre them...and I like vicious do or die sluggers too.

    The only ones I dislike are huggers, that **** should cost points.

    If you want to see someone swinging wildly and rabbit punching at all times - go watch Chuck Wepner.. that doesn't make one a superb champ. I like the middle way.. Mikkel Kessler, Jermain Taylor, Kelly Pavlik, Manny Pacquiao, etc.. Straight punchers with skill, speed, power and brain.
