    JMM counterpunching and it would be nice to switch to a Pac Punching style in the late rounds

    I do have an appreciation for highly skilled, technical fighters, but tho there are styles like swarmers and pressure styles that seem less refined than their technical counterparts, it takes alot more than just "heart" many times for swarmers and pressure fighters to beat the more refined styles. Duran, Chavez, Frazier, and Mares have proved this. I don't really have a favorite style, but it's a delight to see when any style is perfectly executed.

    sluggers like Tommy Hearns, but i am not pleased with his tactics against hagler. If he had been a little bit smarter in the ring, he could have been the alltime best fighter in his weightclass...

    Thomas Hearns - He was always excitement, the way he would come out and look to set up that right hand and knock his opponent out. As well as that, he could box and move as well as anyone ever, watch his fights with Benitez, and the first fight with Leonard. His dominant win over Dennis Andries is another underrated performance from the Hitman
