Stylistically, who was (is) your favorite boxer?

Aaron Pryor was the first boxer I really got into (hence the username.) I also am a huge fan of Tyson.

Other guys I've enjoyed watching include De La Hoya, Duran, Hagler, Roy Jones Jr., Manny Pacquiao, Kostya Tszyu, Mike McCallum, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., and Wilfredo Gomez.

Currently, Canelo Alvarez is my favorite fighter stylistically (and in general), with Golovkin being second. I'm also fond of Donaire, Cotto, Salido, and Gamboa.

 

Floyd
Ali
Tyson
Pacquiao
Pernell

 

If I had to squeeze it down to one, I'd say Gamboa

 

I thought you'd say broner.:think

 

Berto

 

Harry Greb :yep

 

Mike Tyson
Floyd Mayweather

 

Salvador Sanchez. He picked up the swag and smoothness of the American style with footwork, IQ, and defense of an Ali and could land perfect timed bombs and rapid fire combos like Sugar Ray Leonard. At times he was a smooth operator like a Carlos Monzon popping that jab taking control of a fight never losing calm in any situation and never gasped for air even in the 15th round. At 23 already beat Gomez, Lopez, and Nelson 2 ATGs in their prime plus a handful of future champs and world class fighters. Simply the best I've ever seen.

 

Rj (Roy Jones alter ego) & Terry Norris when he was Terrible Terry on a good night OMG. It was like an execution you couldnt turn away from. Those were some badasses I loved those guys they seemed unbeatable at times especially RJ.

 

Alexis Arguello: Arguably the most efficient stand-up boxer/puncher in history. And I do not why the hell this vid won't embed/ but it's a great hilight real.

Growing up Mike Tyson

Around 98- 02 Kostya Tszyu

At the moment it's between Wlad Klitschko, Adamek and Cotto but Im enjoying Lucas Mattheysse.

All excellent fighters and completely different styles.

 

A brilliantly aggressive counter-puncher with incredible stamina, top notch ring iq and an iron chin. To be cut short so abruptly and young and still have Gomez, Lopez x2, Nelson, Castillo, LaPorte, Castanon, et al. is pretty amazing.

 

Historically my favorite fighter is Sal Sanchez. Unreal composure in the ring like he was always in control, good punch, great boxing ability and timing and iron chin. After that Duran and Frazier probably. From the current crop I enjoy watching Floyd, Cotto, Marquez, Rios start to appreciate Ward with time.

 

An honoury mention must go to the great Carlos Monzon!

He had retired by the time I was born but he is one of my favourite fighter OAT. Great ring technician, stoic and calculating and he IS the greatest middleweight of all time:yep

 

Ali

SR Leonard
