    I enjoy many different styles tbh, a lot of my favourite fighters fight nothing like each other, they all have 1 thing in common tho, good technique, I must have good technique.

    I like slick boxers\fleet footed the most bc that's how I would fight but I enjoy watching aggressive counter punchers

    The only quality that all my favourite fighters share is mean intentions. I could never be a great fan of a fighter who tried to win fights on points via volume punching or merely outsmarting/outboxing his opponent. That's not to say a guy has to be a KO machine, he doesn't (a big fan of Sweet Pea & Winky), but the fighters I like always give me the impression that they are aggressively trying to build towards a stoppage, whether it comes or not. This is why I prefer the younger B-Hop (97-01) to the older version (05-present).

    This is the only thread that links my three all-time favourites, who all fight very differently - Duran, Pacquiao, and Toney.

    I enjoy and respect all kinds of boxing styles.
    My personal favorite however are textbook boxer-punchers such as Ricardo Lopez, McCallum, Barrera, JMM, Arguello, Curry, Harold Johnson, etc. Very asthetically pleasing to watch.

    slick counter punchers are my fave to watch. doesn't have to be fleet footed though, there's slick counter punchers that kill it in the pocket like Toney, Mayweather, Juan Manuel Marquez

    Actually if you're interested, I translated an interview with Nacho in which he talks about the origins of his gym and the style that he developed traveling to different places and mixing regional techniques together.
