Whats your favorite boxing style?

Boxer-Punchers.

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.

Unreal that one.was Ray Olivera,If Im not mistaken Augustus threw every punch after that corner incident strictly to the body.He would not go to the head and looked to Steve smoger like "Help this dude out".

All of the above with the exception of fleet of foot runners who watch the clock.Technicians and boxers with the occasional brawler.

What do you call Emmanuel augustus' style?...

i would call hes style unorthordox

I believe this one, "unorthodox", is already used to describe lefties or southpaw boxers, while orthodox are the righties, (conforming to). It is a very old labeling that is seldom used nowadays, older posters here can attest to this.

I consider Augustus to be a cagey veteran kind of like a Freddie Pendleton or Saoul Mamby type, which is my favorite kind of fighter.

I am very familiar with the name Saoul Mamby, but for the life... can't put the right picture anymore man, aside from physical looks/attributes, (still got that) but fighting style, opponents... and too lazy to googs, right now.

Kindly refresh us with this guy, (if nobody minds be a bit off tangent here)

I know he is somewhat significant for I know the name recognition is for his acclaim and skill.

Age and info-overload through the years, makes way for my brain to perform automatic defrag. Somehow no longer carry fresh images, and to be refreshed will be much appreciated.

Using your categories and definitions, I'd say "Brawler" and "Dirty Fighter" are my least favorite styles of fighter. "Boxer/Puncher" would have to be my favorite.

I don't really have a favorite but i do like watching a good jabber, like Ike Quartey, Larry Holmes. I never get tired of seeing them busting up there opponents with snappy left jabs just a thing of beauty IMO.
