I'm curious what criteria NSB contributors use when choosing your favorite fighters, either past or present.
Do you favor offensive-minded fighters, who bring a lot of action to a fight but not much defense, they leave it all in the ring--such as Gatti, Ward, Provodnikov, Berto, etc?
Do you favor slick defensive fighters who take a safety-first approach to boxing and choose to rely more upon reflexes and defense rather than offense? Mayweather, Whitaker, Rigo, Lara?
Do you favor a more well-rounded fighter who displays equal parts offense and defense in their repertoire and tend to have a fan-friendly style such as Duran, M. Spinks, Leonard, De La Hoya, Pac, Loma?
How about behavior/persona in and out of the ring? How much does that influence whether or not you are a fan? Do you like or can you tolerate a trash-talker and villain like Mayweather, Mayorga, Broner, Fury? Or prefer a more humble approach like DLH, Pac, Mosley, Joshua?
What attributes put your favorite fighters at the top of your list? What attributes are deal-breakers?
