    Name three indisputable ATGs whose styles you really enjoy and three whose styles you don’t.

    This is not a comment on their merits as fighters - we’re talking ATGs after all - just a question of aesthetics and personal taste.

    Do- Frazier, Hearns, Roy

    Don’t- Monzon, Hopkins, Calzaghe (all undoubted greats but don’t do much for me from an aesthetic standpoint, in fact I’d rather gouge out my own eyes than watch Calzaghe- Hopkins again)

    I like all great boxers even Muhammad Ali before anyone says otherwise. They were great for a reason and there are always things to awe at. I am a Emile Griffith fan, Lionel Rose fan and I like Nicolino Locche A LOT conventionally boring fighters are my taste usually.
