    I admire Vitali's style

    impossible to hit, throws punches from weird and wonderful angles, awesome KO %

    hate all you want, but his style is impossible to copy

    I'm with Damian38. It's got to be Vitali. With pressure fighters he can fight the whole bout while moving back, all the while landing almost at will and with out taking much if anything in return.

    Then the angles at which he can throw his punches , pretty much with perfect timing and pinpoint accuracy, make it extremely hard to anticipate for his opponents. He's like an ambidextrous pitcher in MLB, who can change from a 12 O'clock delivery to an underhand side arm type release. With the exception of an overhand left( which you can't throw unless your lefty, with your lead hand being right) he throws with both arms from an amazing array of angles

    Solis, solely on the way he moves in and out with such ease.

    Vitali too for how he leans in and out.

    I'm looking forward to seeing Eddie Chambers at cruiserweight. He should get a bit faster in the ring if he sheds some of that extra lbs. Chambers was lighter then ever vrs Adamek but could have used better fitness in those late rounds..

    I hope Chambers gets a big fight soon. He's the uncrowned champ at the weight. Hopefully Huck is watching and is ready to risk it.

    mago's style interests me because it's rare in today's heavyweight division, but technically interesting styles in today's heavyweight division, for me, come from guys like haye, price, and wilder.

    I agree that his legacy would benefit greatly from moving down but :

    1) All the money is at Heavyweight

    2) He's still capable of beating everyone at Heavyweight except the K bros...

    Don't forget that he only used one arm after the second round...

    I do like Chambers though I don't follow the division much, I like the Klitschkos, but it get boring watching them jab and lean on the opponent all night. And say what you want about Chisora, but I like him, he may not be great but he has heart and is making the division somewhat interesting.

    Vitali has a unique style in that he's a defensive, super heavyweight volume puncher. From a boxing point of view he really showcased that style against Arreola, which he may not have been able to do in his prime because he would have been more likely to stop him

    Haye, when he's confident. Small heavyweight that packs some power and speed.

    Wlad when he's fighting aggressively. He brutally KO'd Thompson, Mormeck and Peter in recent fights and was aggressive throughout.

    Povektin is interesting because he showed his chin can be vulnerable against Chagaev, and he was dragged into a war by Huck. He puts his punches together well at times and has average power, but it recently seems as if that 0 is ripe for taking and there are plenty in the division who can probably do it

    Maybe I just like heavyweight boxing in general.
