Which Boxer Has/Had The Most Fan Friendly Style?...

[megas30]

Which Boxer do you think has the most fan friendly style past and present?...For me I think it's a mix of a lot of guys and I don't think I can pick just 1...but a prime Roy Jones Jr. comes to mind...but I'm drawing a blank on the most exciting guys out now besides GGG...he may have the most fan friendly style today...him or kovalev...honorable mention lomochenko...just needs more KO's...

Mike Tyson. If this dude was boxing in the internet era, he would have shattered all record including that of Floyd vs Pac.

He would be derided for being a ducker or a flat track bully if he was boxing in the internet age

But that's not to say he wouldn't be breaking PPV records.

All things considered I would say Mike Tyson, his overwhelming popularity in comparison to his achievements and longevity (not that I'm devaluing them on the whole) is testament to that.

He was still hated then, but his fights were a "must see".

Jones? Huh? No one outside the boxing faithful liked watching him.

Kovalev and GGG are good picks currently but remember Pacquiao isn't retired just yet and is probably the most "fan friendly" fighter out there.

Let's not forget Morales and to a lesser extent MAB, as well as Oscar or Tyson or Holyfield.

I'd put Khan up there too, cos you know, his fights are hardly dull. Bradley has really upped his game since the ugly fights he had with the likes of Witter or DA.

Lomachenko may be...but he has to fight better opponents.

Almost forgot Donaire, Frampton and Mares in the lower divisions.

People were less scathing and appreciative of boxers back then. of course he would have had his 'haterz' but nothing like what it would have been like today

Now it's not even one loss and you're a bum - it's one bad performance.

Muhammad Ali.

[CraigM]

From a British point of view there is a view I can definitely think of...

Joe Calzaghe
Naseem Hamed
Ricky Hatton
Carl Froch
Nigel Benn

I agree. It the newbies, though.

I like guys who throw with great invention in combination...Leonard and Toney were amazing to watch

Right now, Carl Frampton, Imam, Fortuna, Gamboa, Loma, Linares, Broner(sometimes when he ain't being a *****)
