Which Style of Boxing Got You Into Boxing, and is it Still Your Favorite Style?

I started watching boxing because I saw Marciano ko Wallcott on youtube, Then I saw a video in the related videos tab called " Muhammad Ali vs Cleveland Williams" and I was blown away.

 

But my favorite style is Floyd Pattersons version of the Peekaboo, its more classier than tysons.

My dad showed me some Aaron Pryor highlights on YouTube once because he was his favorite fighter in the 1980s, and I loved that style. Then I watched Tyson's prime on YouTube and loved that too.

I still love the fast/explosive swarmer/brawler types a lot, but I like boxer-punchers too. DLH in particular, I was a big fan of.

 

Watching Marquez school Manny after getting up 3 times attracted me the most to becoming a fan. Guts, brains, and an eagerness to engage in violence. A balance of all 3 of those things is what I look for in a fighter.

 

Mike Tyson, so it was a swarmer that made me interested in boxing.

Then I became a Joyboy and Nardtard as I saw more boxing. Boxing at its highest level is a science and then art. 'Boxers' are the most scientific.

I still have respect for the swarming style because it's the most physically demanding style to use.

Never cared much for brawlers, sluggers, and punchers.

 

Mike Tyson was the first guy I remember watching. I'm a fan of all different styles though. I enjoyed watching Holyfield, Lewis, Roy Jones Jr., Hopkins, Trinidad, Hoya, Pacquiao, Mosley, Whitaker,Judah and Mayweather. There are talented fighters that utilize all different styles. That's the beauty of boxing. Guys with all sorts of different athletic attributes can be successful in boxing.

 

:deal

Marquez is one of the most entertaining fighters I've ever seen.

 

i guess tyson. but Taylor-Hopkins and Pavlik-Taylor is what really made me love it. yes, i was a Taylor-****

 

I Boxed before I got into mainstream Boxing.

DLH - Mayweather was the first fight I really took note of.

Searching Boxing further, I found Roy Jones Junior, wow.

 

Roy jones jr got me into boxing. Would probably still be one of my favorite styles to watch if anybody could actually do what he did. Nowadays my fav styles to watch I'd say is probably donaire when he's on and anselmo Moreno. Also Floyd obviously.

 

I started watching boxing somewhere around 07-08 and it all began watching Mike Tyson highlights and browsing yahoo answers for questions like tyson vs. (insert name here)

I do remember going to a DLH-Hopkins family party and some other DLH fights before 07.

 

When I was 8 my dad made me watch barrera morales 1 with him, after that I always wanted to see more

 

As a teenager, prime RJJ got me wow'ed & interested in boxing. Then I got a mild concussion out of sparring when I was 17 mixing it up with guys who were 19-20, more less at the same time Eric Lucas -who I was following as a fan- started to decline (mind you, he was never 'great').

Still love watching highlights of prime RJJ, and like watching most of the good to great matchups of 80's boxing.
