There are very few top fighters who are "textbook", in that you couldn't just study them and expect success by emulating their style. This is certainly the case for Mayweather, and I'd say the same for JMM, both of who do certain things in a textbook manner but also use a lot of advanced unorthodox techniques which they've incorporated into their styles over the years. The higest level textbook fighter I can think of fighting today is Felix Sturm.
