    I enjoy watching these fighters the most.

    Joe Louis: Because he's a boxing textbook and amazing finisher
    Tommy Hearns: Great Boxer and Puncher
    Sugar Ray Robinson: Also a Boxing Textbook
    Sugar Ray Leonard: Slick and Classy
    Willie Pep: Like a clever pick-pocket
    Jersey Joe Walcott: Master of cleverness and subtlety

      I just literally never tire of these fellas & their handiwork...

      Gene Tunney
      Wilfred Benitez
      Pernell Whitaker
      Evander Holyfield
      Erik Morales

      These are probably my most watched.

        I am like you in that guys like Lenoard, Ali, Foreman, Hagler do not do anything for me.

        I watch Naseem Hamed, Oscar DLH, Floyd Patterson, Mike Tyson, Joe Frazier, Jack Dempsey, Aaron Pryor and Terry Norris on a weekly basis. I like explosive offensive fighters as I find them the most entertaining and that's why I watch boxing, to be entertained.

          I'm not a fan at all of watching attacking, swarming fighters (the guys that most people find the most exciting). I prefer watching chess matches, fights that are won and lost with strategy and thinking rather than raw ability and power. I don't like fights where one guy can end the fight in a heartbeat.

          There is hardly a strawweight, flyweight, or bantamweight I don't enjoy watching; Ricardo Lopez is my favorite fighter of all time to watch.

            I dont know who half of those guys are, but I agree sibson is fun to watch.

            I like Naseem and the crazy-ass Baer brothers.

              Guys who swarm and brawl are strategising just as much as anyone else. That's the way they are most likely to win. They don't have the same coordination, reflexes and talent others have and so they work out how best to fight other guys and what will make them more likely to win.

              I'm kind of joking though....I know exactly what you mean and agree.

              My favourite fighters are aggressive counter punchers. Sanvador Sanchez, James Toney, Roberto Duran, Ricardo Lopez, Juan M Marquez, Ezzard Charles, J. Joe Walcott, Azumah Nelson, Ike Quartey etc etc etc.

              Like Sonny though, I will often bring out the great brawls of Chacon, Mancini, Arguello, Olivares, Jeff Fenech, Limon, Edwards, Saad, etc.

                    Juan Manuel Marquez is my favorite because of his skill and courage, but I like Cotto's patiently deadly offense a lot too. Barrera's serial-killer intensity really appeals to me, too. He's just stone cold and a badass.
