I like the Nacho Beristain style. It is kind of a hybrid counter puncher/boxer puncher style. Perfect balance, high guard, textbook left hooks and right crosses.
Juan Manuel Marquez is the active fighter that embodies this best but Ricardo Lopez, Chiquita Gonzalez, Daniel Zaragoza, Rafael Marquez, and Jhonny Gonzalez fight this way too.
I like a lot of styles.
I like love textbook fighters with a great skill sets and jabs like Alexis Arguello, Harold Johnson, Carlos Monzon they're 3 of my 5 favourite fighters right there.
Then I also like defensive slick fighters like Floyd Mayweather, James Toney, George Benton etc who use there sholders to get out the way and can stand right infront of you and make you miss, on the inside and outside.
Then I also like aggressive fighters but with high skill levels and inside fighting like Dick Tiger, Roberto Duran, Castillo etc.
Then I also love a tear up :lol1:
So I like a wide range but I'd say my favourite would be a text book style with great skills and jab.
When I was a kid my brother used 2 have his friends round 2 watch fights (he is 12 years older than me) n he would let me watch them with him. My brother always used 2 say boxing is about hitting n not getting hit so that's the style I always liked the defensive/counter punching style.
I know were all paying tribute to Paul this week but he made Winky watchable, gave us a war with Martinez, went toe to toe with Margo and is fun to watch.
Always wondered why a guy at that weight with those physical advantages fought in the phone box with smaller guys, Good viewing though.
Like slicksters like Whitaker,Mayweather,Toney but love fan friendly pressure fighters.
Corrales
Morales
Hatton
Benn
Katsidis
Froch
Fighers I hate watching are Hopkins, Dirrell, Vital is just awful to watch, Bradley is also hard work to watch.
Juan Manuel Marquez is the cross over of a counter puncher who also throws in combinations, His style is very pleasing.
I like so many styles, but my favourite would be elite counter punchers and boxer-punchers.
The two guy's who I enjoy watching most are Mayweather and Gamboa; the best counter puncher in the sport in Mayweather, who also happens to possess a great offensive arsenal and supreme ring intelligence and then there's Gamboa; tremendous skill level with freakish speed and great power.
I love all styles but inside fighters/pressure fighters and defensive wizards/counterpunchers I like the most. Especially a mixture of the two like Toney
In fighter
Boxer/puncher
Slugger/brawler
Defensive minded
Counter puncher
Pressure fighter
Volume puncher
Etc
????
Plz explain why
Boxer-puncher, always make great fight either they brutalized the opponent or in FOTY situation. always has great skill in offence and little bit vurnerable at defense. ex: Tommy hearns, Manny pacquiao.
inside fighting counterpucnher for me bcuz thats where the punches are harder to see better chance of a ko or a counterpuncher with power and athleticism
My favourite:: Bernard Hopkins by far, I like the fact he is not super gifted like roy, floyd but still dominated because he mastered many boxing skills so well.
Stye wise, I also really enjoy watching floyd and roy jones too, guys that are really hard to hit.
