And who's an example?
I personally love swarmers - the relentless, pressure, clinching, bar room brawl types are my favorite. Any fight where I feel like it's going to turn into a wrestling match at any moment I love. What's yours?
Examples: Joe Frazier, Roberto Duran
it's not a style. it's a man, baby.
joe frazier. are you f#Cking kidding me, smoke? that's how you fought? you f#cking rule.
Took walking forward behind one punch and made an ATG career out of it. You can know that left hook is coming all you want, he'll crush you with it anyway.
I'm gonna guess that Miguel Vasquez is your fav fighter? (or top 5 at least)

Inside fighters. I don't care if they're muggers like Ward or brawlers like Duran, I love watching fighters that can take an opponent apart at the closest possible range.
There's not really one particular style of fighting I like because all good fighters should demonstrate a wide array of abilities and be able to fight in different styles. If I'm going to generalize for the sake of this thread I'd say (as much as I hate the term) "pure" boxers; footwork, defense, counter punching, timing. ect. Although I do love fighters that put a lot of emphasis on a sustained body attack because not to many fighters do today.

Tito's style/Mickey Garcia's/GGG/ Cotto
Guys who have some technique and can jab/box/hunt and hurt all at the same time.
This. The boxer puncher style is my favorite.
Blood and guts warriors. Fighters who come to fight, not run around in circles like sissies. I like to watch action, aggressiveness. Fighters who are willing to walk thru punches to throw their own bombs, that to me is what the spirit of FIGHTING is all about. That's what I call entertainment. This next Saturday I will get a big dose of that!
Completely agree, those type of fighters get the most respect. They might not have the athletic ability or lack of self-pride to climb into the ring wearing a "tutu" like this guy.....

Many great styles in this great sport, I personally like to see a boxer because I am a fan of footwork and ring generalship. But I also love a technician, combination punching is great to watch. Brawlers of course are always fun.
