    Which style do you prefer, face first brawler or skilled boxer?

    I appreciate both styles of boxing. However, for me personally there's nothing better than watching a skilled pugilist apply his craft in the ring. It's amazing watching how easy guys like Floyd Mayweather Jr., Pernell Whitaker, Wilfred Benetiz, etc. make it look. They're like poetry in motion.

    i like a agressive swarmer with great skills....

    duran for example....

    his defense matches up with the agts....

    but if it is between a brawler without much skill and a skilled boxer....

    i think i reather see some skills.

      Boxers are boring as *** and brawlers look goofy and unskilled. Give me a boxer puncher anyday of the week!

        the best is a skilled swarmer against a skilled boxer....

        if i wanna see sloppy brawling i would only watch mma( which i do like)

        but boxer punchers like pistol wip metioned are great.

        skilled swarmers against boxers are the best IMO....

        i do like sweet pea, FMJ(in the ring), and benitez even if the fight is "boring".

              For me, there has to be at least some skill involved. So to the point of the question I would answer skilled boxer no doubt.

              I do love watching guys show guts, that is the ultimate for me. It just has to be at a respectable level.

                Sugar Ray Leonard was skilled and very entertaining.
