Fighters hardcore fans love as much as casuals?

No mentions of Iron Mike?

Usually a hardcore fan would like a textbook, technical fighters like B-Hop, Floyd or Winky. But casual fans would find them boring, they prefer someone like Gatti or Ward who are great warriors but lack skill.

But what fighters display both the technical brilliance hardcore fans like but can also attract someone who never watched a fight? An example that first came to my mind is JMM

Sorry for bad English

I have seen casuals like Mayweather, Margarito, and Oscar. Cotto as well. Strangely, not much for Pacquiao or Haye, or people like that.

Agree with all the previously mentioned ones, would only add the names Andre Ward, Olympic gold medalist who would be getting more recognition if this were the earlier days of boxing, when that still meant something and is very talented and pretty popular and also, Marco Antonio Barrera, although he was thought to be more technical when he was really young and then again later in his career.
