If you have to pick one...

The pure brawler: Tyson, Gatti, Hatton, Cotto, always coming forward, always throwing punches.

Disciplined fighters: Pavlik, Castillo, Vargas, De La Hoya Mexican style boxing, always coming forward, little side to side movement, tight defense, hands up.

The dancers: RJJ, Tarver, Malinaggi, Ali, American style, lots of variation within fights, hands often down, side to side movement, diverse number of mini-styles.

No style is more gutsy necessarily than the other, just different strokes for different folks(boxers and fans).

Tarver is a weird pressure fighter-boxer he uses his size to create space for his punchs.

yeah, he's kind of an in-between one, I put him as a dancer because he DOES do that from time to time and always has his hands down looking to be as slick as possible.
