Whats your favorite boxing style?

[Trainer Monkey]

Im currently in love with Mads Larsen
After watching his last fight,its a shame he's getting up there in age,because I could point to that fight,and show it to my boxers and say,"Do you want to know what I want out of you? That right there."He does a couple of things I dont like,but overall,thats the style I teach.

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.



Still not gaining those brownie points.

How about boxer/spastic?

Any style works, as long as they are willing to trade to make a fight out of it. Too much of a "defense first" mentality is not attractive to my taste personally.

Augustus' style, I've seen it a few times. It is wacky, but it is totally without merit, I even enjoy it and find myself riled up when he gets a "bummed", more often than not. Can't blame those judges tho', Augustus style is so unconventional, "conventional" scoring methods don't apply. As we all know, judges do not push it and, think out of the box in these below premium matches.

Mike McCallum, he had a combination of styles. Guess all around fighter is the word.

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.

Boxer Brawler.

Though I do like Punchers also. Punchers with a bit of speed and bit of boxing skill.

[RozzySean]

Overall, boxer-punchers (Holmes, Arguello, Hearns, Pavlik, Tszyu) and counterpunchers (Toney, Tarver, Mayweather when he's against people his own size) with pop are my favorites. Swarmers are fun if they use skill and smart aggression. I enjoy any style done well, but I'm least inclined to enjoy slick boxers who only pot-shot (Mayweather when he's in with a much bigger guy) and don't have killer instinct. I can appreciate them, but it's not my favorite to watch. I'm also not much for pure punchers who plod around waiting for one punch (except for Ding Ling Wilson. For some reason, I like the guy, even though he can be as boring watching paint dry sometimes.)

Not that he is no entertaining but the guy had so much talent and he would lose because of his clowing or just not take it serious...

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.

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

Its catagory, dont worry OnixAA I fixed it for u buddy .

Floyd Mayweathere, James Toney, or Bernard Hopkins.
