For me there are so many. I love watching Floyd Mayweather's tremendous skills and defensive ability he's a wizard in the ring. I love JMM heart and skills, this guy has so much heart and I love his intelligence. JMM is the fighter that I respect the most. I love Sergio Martinez's energy and athleticism. I love Yuriorkis Gamboa's hand speed and footspeed, he's the most exciting fighter in the game imo. I love Tim Bradley's heart and desire as well as his overall boxing ability. What do you guys say?
Who are your favorite fighters to watch and why?

Of the guys I have listed in my profile.
Tim Bradley - Because the guy has skill, but you can tell that if it ever lets him down, he would pretty much will himself to victory, or give it every last bit he had in him.
Manny Pacquiao - He is the legend of this generation, and he continues fighting even when he is comfortably ahead.
Wladimir Klitschko - Because he has a specific way of fighting and he doesn't deviate from it no matter how much people *****. Also, since he has a specific style, its fun to see how various opponents go about trying to break it down.
Vic Darchinyan - The guy is a mess in the ring, but there is always a chance you will see a massive KO. Also, just love his tough talk and attitude. The man is miniscule but he walks in the ring like he is 10' tall.Comment

Marquez-My favorite active fighter, I used to like him more when he could move more, but still great. Now he's more exciting but I know it's just because he's loosing his legs.
Mayweather-He's the best fighter in the game, pure skills in display.
Dirrell- I love his style, his speed is amazing.
Gamboa- Very athletic and explosive, he's p4p material.
Martinez-Always brings excitement, great speed and movement.
Bradley-I really love his attitude, he always comes to fight and his heart make it up for his lack of power.
Montiel- He's great to watch too.
Ortiz-My favorite up-comer, he's very exciting and likes to trade too.Comment

Are we talking current boxers or of all time? I'll name current ones I enjoy, in no particular order.. I'll try to only reference somewhat recent fights as well.
Floyd Mayweather: Although he's a prick outside the ring, I love watching the way he adapts to any fighter he faces. I love the way he lands punches and makes his opponents miss in a seemingly easy manor.
Sergio Martinez: Love his slick style and he's not afraid to mix it up and **** a bit. I think the first time I saw him fight was against Cintron and I loved his style. I wish I had discovered him earlier.
Juan Manuel Marquez: How can you not love the way this guy puts his punches together? He's a beautiful boxer. I know he's getting old but the man can still hang with the best and even beat the best.
Manny Pacquiao: He loves to fight and is so fast and explosive. I've loved watching him for a long time now. He always sacrifices his own safety to make an entertaining fight. I've purchased his last 5 PPV fights and the only one I could have lived without was the Clottey fight, although I'm not sorry I got it. I was just disappointed that Clottey didn't make more of a fight of it, like he could/should have.
Carl Froch: I honestly didn't have any exposure to him until the Taylor fight. The more I see him the more I like him. He's a tough son of a bitch and he loves to brawl but he can stick to a game plan, as illustrated this past weekend.
Vitali Klitschko: The man retires from the ring for almost 4 years and lets his body heal and then comes back and basically slaughters his way through the division. You can almost bet the farm that he will stop his opponent every time he fights.
Kelly Pavlik: I've liked this dude for a while. The way he demolished Taylor after almost being stopped was what I love most about boxing. The guy is so determined. Even though he lost to Martinez, I thought he put up a damn good fight up until the cut, that took him out of his game. I hope he gets through his alcohol problems and makes a strong return to the ring.
Bernard Hopkins: I know he puts up a stinker from time to time but he really is a smart fighter, even though he plays dirty. I haven't watched the Jones rematch but his win over Pavlik was something else for that old man.
I could go on but I doubt anyone will even read all this crap I've posted.
