There is so many fighters I could mention I almost dont know where to start. Everyone fighter already mentioned would be on my list so I will come up with some I dont remember seeing.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Tommy Hearns
Marvin Hagler
Oscar De La Hoya
Holyfield
Victor Ortiz
Trinidad
Sergio has some nice vids of him training
So many more that I consistantly watch.
It would be hard to choose a fighter in which ive took the most from because I go to the gym with a different fighter on my mind everyday but I still end up fighting about the same. But if I had to choose one in which my style is most similar to and likely have benefited most from watching it would be Amir Khan.Last edited by Beavis_5000; 01-25-2014, 04:00 PM.

As my sig indicates, the Marvelous one, although in all honesty I view his fights more for pleasure.
Lately I've been binge studying Rigo, truly a master, so many subtle moves.
James Toney and Floyd are guys I've always studied.
Lara, especially his fight against Trout. I'm not a southpaw but I find myself watching a lot of southpaw fighters.
Finito Lopez - textbook perfection. Juan Manuel Marquez as well.
Kostya Tszyu is another good one I often watch.
BTW as many here said i like to study many fighters some old school and some new school, particularly pure boxers and counter punchers.

Sometimes I watch fighters not as a fan but as a student so to speak. A friend of mine got me into the idea and it helped a lot. He said the trick isn't to emulate what you see, just take bits from it and try your own version of it to develop your own style not copy theirs.
I am a southpaw so naturally I study a lot of Rigo and Pacquiao fights and, to a lesser extent, Zab Judah, to see the combos and footwork to practice on the bags.
The gym I used to go to had a few guys at a similar weight to me but where a few inches taller, so Tyson fights (early fights) came in handy there when it came to sparring them.
