When I'm being rational my favorite's are guys like JMM who have the ability to box the **** out of the other guy if they want to but are also primally wired to brawl and have the power to do it.
When I'm being totally irrational and impulsive, I love the Maidana, Margarito, Valero types.
Like.. I enjoy technical boxers like Vitali Klitschko/Nonito Donaire and slick boxers like Sergio Martinez/Paulie Malignaggi as long as they're doing more fighting than running, and are always setting up their offense regardless of how defensive or technical they are being
If I had to choose a favorite though, it's the type of fighters that use their intelligence, skill and athleticism to systematically break down their opponent, and then go for the knockout. Which is why Andre Ward is my favorite fighter right now. Floyd Mayweather is like this but he takes too little risks and while he's excellent at breaking guys down, he's never that good at finishing them off.
Morales, Barrera who when hurt will respond not by clinching but throwing punches. JMM because he's such an intelligent boxer but also can effectively brawl with you. Pure boxers like Mayweather and Whittaker but I enjoyed Mayweather more in the 130 division. The unique unorthodox style too with sheer athleticism like RJJ and Hamed who both had very entertaining persona's with incredible charisma. Exciting KO artists: HAmed, Pac, Tyson.
