I've always liked the combination of boxing skills and KO power: Pacquiao, Bute, JM Marquez, Marciano, the Klitschkos, etc.
I'm not as much of a fan of "pure boxers" without much power, such as Zbik, Malignaggi, Nuzhnenko, Ottke, Spinks, Mayweather and Dawson, but I do enjoy watching when they put on a show and really school their opponents.
And I'm usually not a big fan of less-skilled brawling pressure fighters: Gatti, Katsidis, Andrade, De Leon, Juarez.

Thanks for the post. Do you think pure boxers should get more respect then they're getting because of this?
I would say yes, less savy fans will call them runners. Those guys master the art of hitting without getting hit. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy a slug fest but do like the technical fighters
