    Respect to this.

    Nigel Benn, Danny Lopez, Tommy Hearns & my all time favourite, Julian Jackson spring to mind.

      If you asked me as a child, I would've said Trinidad. Now, I would say Cotto. The only time when my ethnic background comes out lol.

        Roberto Duran/Miguel Cotto. If I'm in a fire fight, Duran's offense mixed with defense style. If I'm on the attack, Cotto's methodical/calculated/punishing style.

        Honestly, it would depend on the opponent. If the guy was a bruiser, with a swarming style, of course Mayweather. If the guy was more of a slick fighter, Cotto's style. If the guys all around good, then Druan's.

        But if I had to stick to one style permanently, Duran's. Perfect blend of offense and defense. Very close 2nd would go to Cotto.

                  those signed shorts cost me over £600 n i enjoy watching the mayweather style and the duran style, but i wouldnt wanna b punched in the face all the time personally.

                    Ricardo El Finto Martinez.

                    The most perfected Mexican style of boxing at 160.

                    Oh shiiiiii
