    Pedroza's an interesting choice there. Is it his dirty work that makes you say that? Despite that, I love watching his fights.....

    Hank Kaplan reckons Pedroza was a better featherweight than Sanchez and thinks he'd have beaten him too.

    Ruben Olivares when he was trying to be a more mobile or patient boxer-puncher, rather than a pressure\swarming fighter.

    Duran, post-Buchanan to Dejesus rematch didn't always look easy on the eye, as he was perfecting his more technical style fight by fight.

    Larry Holmes...a sorry sloppy excuse for a technical boxer, though his style worked for his size and division.

    Why are you getting so emotional. Real dudes don't deal with feelings and emotions, that should be left up to females.

    If you haven't seen them before, check out justifies with Carrasquilla, Sibaca and Lujan; all pretty damn exciting IMO.

    Sloppy fighters in general. Foreman and other unskilled HW champs like Baer etc. Then we have the sloppy boxer types like Nunn and Graham. Hamed was spectacular in his own way, but also totally lacking in fundamentals. Can't forget have utterly silly a truly skilled opponent like Barrera made him look. Jones was a bit of the same, but could be really entertaining to watch. Calzaghe's style is a bit of turn off, as well. Froch isn't nice to look at either.

    Those would be the main ones.
