Love different boxing styles Julio Cesar Chavez highly skilled aggression, Terry Norris footwork and speedy combinations, Tyson's hand speed, lightning combination and power, Cobra Curry efficient and smooth boxing skills.
I like well rounded, true professionals who can punch and have killer instinct. I also enjoy pure boxers with great defensive skills. Specific favorite fighters:
Well rounded: Marvin Hagler, BHOP, James Toney, Mike McAllum, Loma, Evander Holyfield
Pure boxers: Sweet Pea, Floyd, Rigo (yes, I actually enjoy and admire his skill in the ring)
I do like a merciless walk in slugger with big power .
Khaosai Galaxy , Edwin Valero , John Mugabi.
My favourite pure boxer would be Oba Carr but I did like the Brendon Ingle gym style where Herol Graham mastered the unauthodox hands down hard to hit style that Naz made famous.Quote:

No one has ever handled Jackson like that in his prime. McAllum stopped him, but Julian hD been beating Mike from pillar to post. GMan out willed him after two back and forth wars. Graham completely outclassed him for numerous rounds...Quote:
