Whats your Favorite Boxing Style?

I like the way PoPo fights, minus the quitting. He holds his hands low, dances around laterally and throws serious bombs. He was tagging casamayor to next friday, and I loved that style of boxing. One of the best pure boxer/punchers in the sport. I also like it when the little quitter starts trading.

He So loads up on haymakers. Its cool as fugg.

My favorite styles would probably be

The stalker. Lots of forward movement and everything follows comes off the jab. Sonny Liston and especially Joe Louis were two greats that employed this style.

The swarmer. Joe Frazier, Rocky Marciano, Jake LaMotta. Never a backward step. Defense is mostly crouching, the bob and weave, and rolling with the punches that do hit. Very high, bordering on frenzied, workrate. Wear your opponent down and rob him of his will to fight.

young tyson invincible and his "killer instict"
holyfield
jcc
and lewis. if i was a boxer i would be like lewis, he didnt got hit a lot and always dominated. though i want tyson style more but it seem like he his size and reach force him to be in best shape all the time to could dominated. but lewis can be bad trained but still dominated becuase of his size and style.

I pretty much like it all (except for the 'huggers'!!). Really just depends on my mood; sometimes I wanna see a slugger and an exciting ko..sometimes theres nothing like watching a true technician ply his craft. So, I'll take some of all of it I suppose!
Personal fav's would be Morales, Gatti, Tszyu, young Holyfield

My favorite style is something like B-Hop uses. Sure, it isn't very entertaining, but I use a reflex-dependant style as well and never take clean punches, and the result of this will mean an extremely long career in Boxing. That's where all these young cats go wrong, developing this aggressive style thinking they are invincible and whatnot. When you get on that elite level with that style, you'll go through a few wars, then you'll be somewhat scarred, and then you'll have ten years left, maximum, to fight. Whereas a guy looking to counterpunch that never gets punched cleanly, can go on for 20, even 25 years after that first stepup to the elite level. It's all about damage accumulation, and counterpunchers that don't get hit simply stay in the game longer. They get more ring experience because their fights tend to drag out onto the later rounds, and finally, they make the sport look better to intelligent outsiders by being strategic in the ring, rather than putting on a primal, brutal spectacle of destruction.

ps- and fighters who get punched less look better in interviews, "spinal."

Frazier , Tyson are fun to watch..but I can't fight like that.

Ali was fun to watch.

Louis and Robinson I like because of their fundamentals and power.

Nowadays my favorite is James Toney hands down. Old school sideways stance and pinpoint counterpunching...that's skill.
