I like slick but with a good work rate, def not Crawford's style how he literally ran in the Postol fight against a guy with 40% KO rate, damn that was supposed to be the fight that makes him a star

I'd prefer a bit of both.
Take Floyd for example, i really enjoy watching him for 4 or 5 rounds, how he usually figures out his opponent, takes their game away and starts to control. After that though, it becomes fairly tedious and boring usually and you just want him to try and put his foot on the gas but it never happens. That said, he did that a lot more when he was younger.
Roy Jones is a good example. He was slick, but still had aggression. He had a good balance of styles.Comment

I prefer offensive minded fighters.Comment

I prefer an aggressive offensive fighter but this type of fighter can also have a good defense and be hard to hit. Roy Jones, James Toney and Ray Robinson are good examples of this fact. Lomo, Crawford,Walters and Gonzalez are current champions who usually attack but don't get hit that much.Comment

So offensive fighters can't be slick and technical?
Duran and Chavez Sr prove otherwise.Comment

I like the Floyd Mayweather/James Toney/Andre Ward/Roy Jones Jr/etc style, where a guy can fight right in front of you, yet use their ring IQ, reflexes, and sheer ability to make you miss by 6 inches and tattoo you for your mistake.
There's different ways to be slick, just like there are different ways to be agrressiveComment

aggressive fighters with skills. golovkin, morales, lomachenko, JMM, people like that.Comment

It depends on the skill gap between the fighters. I'd much rather watch GGG bomb Wade out of there then watch Mayweather toy with Berto. However I thoroughly enjoyed Rigo vs Donaire.Comment

Neither. I am all about technical boxer-puncher like Marquez and Linares.Comment
