          Well Rigondeaux is getting a very high percentage of the votes here!

          As it should be.

            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.

              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.
              I have been studying rigo like crazy too, the guy is a supreme boxer i cant imagine what it would be like to be against someone so good in the ring. Rigos boxing IQ and athletic abilty its just amazing. I have seen his fights almost in slow mo and some of his moves ( specially that straight left to the body ) are just incredible.

              BTW as many here said i like to study many fighters some old school and some new school, particularly pure boxers and counter punchers.

                I study Rigondeaux, Toney, Mayweather, and Juan Marquez mostly. I prefer to study people strong in the fundamentals

                    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.

                      I think Shane Mosley is a fighter everyone should watch.
