I agree that the B&W is the best image. For the color versions, I think you overdid the shadow effect. Too much of the body is obliterated in the shadows, so that the resultant visible shapes are odd and distracting. I would have gone for a little more of an equivalent of dynamic range. And I would have experimented with some backlighting to outline the body. The image quality of the color images are downgraded by the blown-out highlights--too much glare from the lighting. Regarding poses, I think the 45 degree angle across the one frame doesn't work well, and the hand behind the canted head is too cutesy for the boxer theme. Lastly, I would have cloned out the pustules (pimples) on the face and neck. All in all, for the color images, I think the last works best: the guy is a boxer in workout wear, but the last image is the only one with a boxer-like pose and boxer-like body language.
