i enjoy watching elusive fighters. Tyson, Ali, and Pacquiao and Frazier

i like watching them because when they slip a punch and counter it's like, wow. That's so awesome. It's just a special talent few have to slip punches with precise timing.

I can enjoy any style long as holdin is kept to a minimum and punches are bein thrown. I obviously luv KO's, but technical boxing is gr8 too.

I enjoy many styles, but what I can't stand is excessive clinching, hate it, hate it, hate it

I don't like dirty fighting much either, if it's causing delays and DQ's

I love watching James Toney. It doesn't take much movement from him to make guys miss, and he's ready to counterpunch at all times from any position.

I love watching slippery southpaws hit and not get hit! I think its the epitome of great boxing, I've really enjoyed watching Paul McCloskey's last few fights. What a class act. He dismantled Daniel Rasilla for the European Light Welterweight :D

I appreciate all styles. There's nothin' like watching Finito Lopez put on a counter-punching clinic or watching Julio Cesar Chavez, Mike McCallum surgically destroy a man's body, James Toney was awesome too. It's too bad, not too many fighters today are highly skilled inside fighters, it's just slug, slug, slug.

In my opinion, it takes more skill to fight on the inside and not get hit, than it's to just stick and move.

The only thing I hate are excessive clinching/running/low-workrate, Floyd Jr are you listening ?

i like tight guard elusive guys like mike tyson and floyd patterson with the peek a boo style or the high turtle like shell defenses like clottey or winky wright.....but overall my favorite boxing style was that of "The Mongoose!"

im a firm believer in the 'if you are great at the basics then you are great at the sport' mantra. for that reason i love watching fighters like lewis, kessler, tszyu, early pbf. these guys do the basics very well and are a great template for anyone who wants to learn about boxing.

all of the guys above are all capable of delivering the KO as well, i can watch fighters like malginaggi, calzaghe and appreciate their skills and talent but sometimes you want to see the KO!!! i like to watch alot of jmm, and toney stuff as well. i think they're brilliant fighters and its only once you've been in the ring that you will appreciate their skills.

agree with that BOX-A-LOT there is a dearth of good inside fighters at the minute, and it requires more skills than many think.

Tyson's style is by far my favorite to watch, it's what got me into boxing in the first place

the early ali is fun to watch because he's so accurate and his jab is so powerful
