The fighter who most embodies what a boxer should be...

[KnockoutTheFat]

For brawling fighters I'd have to go with Gatti.
For tactical fighters I'd pick PBF
For a balance of both I'd select either Evander Holyfield, the Marquez bros., or Morales.

[OhNo]

Don't know...

a guy that can box
a guy that can punch
a guy with a rock hard chin
a guy who goes out on his shield
a guy that makes fights exciting

...yeah. erik morales just about does it.

While I appreciate someone like Floyd's skils, I like fighters who fight at least more than twice a year and seem to be hungry to fight the best no matter what the circumstances.

There are too many champions and contenders not fighting enough. If it's because of promoters molly coddling them that's too damn bad.

We don't wait all year to watch a football game, basketball, baseball most any other sport.

Why should we for boxing?

If you're looking for the ideal poster boy, you aren't going to find anybody better than Leonard and De La Hoya. They were legendary fighters, great spokesman, aesthetically pleasing, the works. Vernon Forrest comes close out of the guys fighting today.

your idea of the ideal fighter is a guy who blocks punches with his face and swings slower than an elephant in slow motion

Hell yes!

I do think that Forrest fights closer to the way Morales did than anyone else in the sport. A pretty economical, but still pretty aggressive fighter who embodies exactly what a boxer should be.

JMM. He's smart, technical, and can mix it up at times.
