I personally think if we are talking about all around technique, you gotta mention Cotto. Good defense, smart game plans, well rounded boxer. It's hard to criticize anything he does.

i would actually say tyson

in his prime every punch he threw was perfect they were powerful and fast because he would never over or under-commit to them.

yo technique aint footwork n lookin pretty lol


technique is the sweet science of boxing... mainly timing, math.
or can be considered a guy who does everything perfect. sloppy fighters always come across as not technically sound, but thats not true, that should show that technique aint about being pretty, its about knowledge n being taught properly and do it properly
