    I always liked a good bob and weave style. Not sure which of your categories that fits into. Without going back and actually checking on some of their styles, a few fighters that come to mind are...

    Marco Antonio Barrera
    Salvador Sanchez
    Eusebio Pedroza as exemplified in his fight against Patrick Ford.
    Mike Tyson

    If anybody thinks any of these guys aren't really bob and weave, let me know.

    Tyson fits that catagorie well. I think a real good poster boy for that style would also be Joe Frazier

    Ahhhh man, don't make fun of Augustus!!

    I love watching Augustus fight, because his fights are always entertaining.

    He always has a smile on his face, and he's a guy that just loves being in that ring.

    I like plenty of boxer/punchers (Wlad, Vitali, Joe Louis, Hearns, Roy Jones Jr.) and brawlers (Rocky, Foreman, Hagler, Tyson, Joe Frazier, Tommy Morrison) and I also like a few slick pure boxers (Willie Pep, Pernell Whitaker)


    I can appreciate most any style but it kind of depends on the attitude of the fighter and the style paired up....like Roberto Duran's style and attidue added up for me whereas Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s style and attitude don't mesh for me.

    Micky Ward nailed it...."Puppet Stuff".When he fought conventional or tried it was a no go.

    Boxer/Puncher would probably be my favourite & as another example I think this sums up Ali.

    I'm also a fan of cagey fighters, pressure fighters & tacticians though. Odd mix I know.

    Also to add I think Augustus is brilliant, I like to see someone who has a different attitude in the ring, although this has obviously has cost him fights he has deserved to win.

    Also there was a fight of his I saw, can't remember who it was against, but the other guy was obviously having some major problem with his head & was screaming, & Augustus didn't wade in & beat him possibly because he knew he could seriously damage or even kill the other guy. Can't remember much else about the fight (probably very drunk) but that stuck with me & earned my admiration. Would appreciate if someone else knew which fight I'm on about & let me know.
