    I am not talking about skill or athleticism, I am not talking about legacy or winning or losing, I am talking about how pretty thier boxing style was no matter if they were good or not, who had that prettiest style in your opinion


    I am going Manny Pac

    Pac isnt all that pretty to watch IMO..though he is exciting.

    Id say bloked like Napoles, Conteh, Joey Archer, Locche, Lionel Rose and Johnny Famechon are some of my favs.

    Muhammed Ali's is my favorite, Larry Holmes also had a great style (except against Tyson).

    Fair enough, but you must admit that Nas Hamed had a pretty fighting style

    Mike tyson - Aggresiveness - The man was a beast
    Roy Jones Jr.- Athlectic ability - Could do just about anything he wanted in the ring
    Bernard Hopkins - Will to win no matter what - you all know what I mean
    Floyd Mayweather Jr - Technical ability - The art of hitting and not being hit

    Call me crazy, but I like the way Cotto boxes. I like how he sticks the jab, follows with a left hook, backs up, squares up and does that little latin bounce, and explodes out on a jab again.

    So we're talking aesthetically pleasing styles and you went with a southpaw? :roll: Way to go.

    I never liked the akwardness of southpaw/orthodox fights, they aren't pleasing at all to watch. I find that when a fighter throws crisp, sharp, straight punches going in, then slips and pivots out without getting hit, it's very aesthetically pleasing. Recent examples to me are Cotto against Margarito for 5 rounds, and Mayweather against Baldomir.
