What fighters are calming to watch but not boring?

I think there's something about fighters who are either very smooth, rhythmic and effortlessly skilled or very skilled and methodical but one paced and minimalist who have this sort of effect on viewers. Hence all the good names mentioned above.

Penalosa was one of the first I thought of. Skilled and metronomic but insular and minimalist, and with a very stoic, zen, monk-like expression on his face.

Guty Espadas on the front foot, a very pleasing, fluid slip and hook orientated style.

Hagler when in boxer mode, the way he would sort of rock, dip and switch stances along with his sliding, light, slightly bouncy footwork.

Sahaprom
Mustafa Muhammad, the idle c*nt
Rodolfo Gonzalez

Alfonso Lopez
Alfredo Marcano
Antonio Gomez
Colin McMillan
Kevin Finnegan
Antonio Amaya
Enrique Pinder
Sasakul
Kates
