Goku's classic one against Vegeta, I also like his stance in the Budokai games. Freeza and Cell have nice ones as well (Cell's was previously posted and with Freeza, its the "both arms stretched. out one leg behind the other" one). Tao Pai Pai's when he comments on how he appreciates some exercise is also a great one. Beerus with one hand behind the other and pointing his finger is also one I really love.
Tim Duncan is dope and forever.

I mean this stance, the one that is common in the video games. Don't know how often he uses this in the actual series.

That is my favorite pose ever since I was younger, I found that Ginyu pose incredibly hilarious.

I like Hit's first stance. Reminds me of Yip Man and Donnie Yen

Everyone with a good Wing Tsun stance like Whis.

Nickzambuto already mentioned Freezas stance. Even though it is debatable if that can be considered a fighting stance. The only real fighting stance I have in mind of him is the one he stole from Goku.

Frost did use it as a fighting stance though.

Goku's stance in the Dead Zone film right after he back flips from fighting 3 on 1 (Ginger, Nikki, and Sancho). It just looks so damn cool :D

I read somewhere the relaxed stance Vegeta is using lately in Super is actually a stance in real life. Don't know if its true or not.

Definitely Tenshinhan's preliminary stance. He always seemed to have the most technical minded combat poses in the series, in my opinion.
