What is your favorite kind of boxing match to watch?

It's fun to go to some amateur tournament and out of four **** fights you get to see someone who's the real deal. And you never heard of the guy before and this is the first time you see him in the ring and you know, hey, this one could be the next (insert name here). Of course it can also happen while watching pro's but there everything is laid out in front of you beforehand. Those types of pleasant surprises are seldom.

Good infighting is beautiful to watch I also enjoy high output volume punchers like Santa Cruz and Calzaghe and Paul Williams.

I like the ones where the pure boxer puts on a running master class throwing 8 punches a round.

Fast paced, dramatic fights. Cotto vs Ricardo Torres is a good example

My favorite is when a classic boxer isn't great enough to completely outbox a swarmer so he gets work done. Perfect example is Lara - Angulo . This is my favorite stylistic matchup . That is good I agree. Loved that fight.

I just love when two boxers step into the ring after months of training then the tension as the first bell rings. Then they posture for a while in the centre of the ring, circling, feinting. A few jabs are thrown but no power shots in case the other man counters. Then with about ten seconds to go one of them throws a power shot. It misses! then wham, straight into a clinch so the other guy can't come back. I love seeing them test their strength on each other by hugging and shoving a bit. No one will surrender so the ref has to pull them apart. Non of this fighting their way out bull****. This goes on for the full twelve rounds. Jab, feint, clinch. No knockouts, I want to get my moneys worth. I loved the bute pascal fight for these reasons. I know it's early but I think we've got a fight of the year candidate right there.

no so much the boxers on this one but the "I'm gonna f* you up attitude" on ponce de leon vs. boom boom.

I like boxers vs brawling pressure fighters,, ie cotto-margs floyd-hatton ali-frazier SRL-hagler

Personally I enjoy watching a tough, strong, skilled brawler/puncher slowly but surely chip away at a technical boxer who is less strong, a little less tough, and likes to operate from the outside. I love seeing the puncher get closer each round by making a little adjustments as the fight goes on. Eventually, hurting the boxer. Then, urgency in the boxer's face and body language. No way out. KO. What say you? All posters welcomed. like miguel acosta vs brandon rios ?

Fights where one punch can end the fight, and high speed chess matches.

Violent chess matches Mccallum vs Toney fights Whitaker vs Mcgirt fights Marquez vs Barrera Starling vs Curry

My favorite is when a classic boxer isn't great enough to completely outbox a swarmer so he gets work done. Perfect example is Lara - Angulo . This is my favorite stylistic matchup .

Boxer puncher vs Puncher - ie. Broner vs Maidana Pure boxer vs pressure fighter - ie. Moreno vs Mares

As long as neither man holds it's generally much easier on the eyes, not saying I'd watch Garcia-Burgos over and over, but if we had more fights like Toney-McCallum.......

I enjoy watching fighters with unusual styles or abilities. For example, Pernell Whitaker with his slippery body movement. Naseem Hamed with his sniper punches from unexpected angles. Julian Jackson with his heavyweight power in a middleweight body. Gary Russell Jr. with his blinding handspeed, combinations and flurries. As a Valero fan, I often cheer on power punchers and knockout artists.

When both men come to fight. I can't be bothered with boxers who stay on the outside and do laps of the ring.

One where both guys can loose....

Competitive skilled wars. Pac vs Marquez Mosley vs De la Hoya

guys who have skills to box w/ the balls to fight all out Hagler, Pac, Terrible, JCC, Holyfield, Barrera, Tyson, Vargas, Hearns, etc

I loved those fights. My favorite fights are often very hard fought battles between great fighters that can punch and box. Leonard-Duran, Both Leonard-Hearns fights, and the Pacquiao-Marquez fights are some fights I liked.
