    Pressure/inside fighters with excellent defense. A rarity. Although I really enjoy watching fighters who are versatile and can change things up on the fly.

    My favourite styles are complete boxer punchers like pretty boy Floyd, Uncle Azumah Nelson, Felix Tito Trinidad, Ali, Marvelous Marvin and Roberto Duran all boxer punchers who throw combinations and had respect for defence.

    I really like all styles though, another one I especially like is the smooth slickster style, but the type that weren't afraid to brawl and typically threw a good amount of punches, like Pernell Whitaker, Willie Pep, Sugar Ray Leonard, Muhammad Ali etc etc.

    I will get framed for this, but I actually like Floyd's style. I love his pull counters and how he throws the lead right like a jab
