The Top 6 Technically Proficient Boxers Around Right Now - Page 2

Vlad should be there

Sergio seems so out of place there. And B-Hop not having a place at all there is crazy.

I love Martinez but I think he is not a Technical fighter... Here's my top 6

1. Floyd
2. Rigo
3. Donaire
4. Ward
5-6. Gamboa / Marquez / Vlad

agreed, If BHop were younger i'd list him ahead of Broner as well.

New England

this isn't in order, but i'd include

mayweather jr
wladimir klitschko
andre ward
canelo alvarez (he's still there to be hit, but his offense is very technical. he really turns his punches over)
guillermo rigondeaux
juan manuel marquez (amazing combinations and counterpunching, but he's still there to get hit.)

some great recent technicians:
winky wright
ivan calderon
bernard hopkins
jim toney (burger king!)

and then there's the pantheon of technique

angulo
provodnikov
abraham
huck
juanma's chin.

he's still got the craft, but his reflexes and handspeed aren't what they used to be. he paws / slaps a bit more now. and he hardly throws.

he's all but retired, anyway.

i put him on my list of recent technicians, though.

You can't say Martinez does not belong there, and then say Gamboa.

Donaire looks for one punch, I wouldn't call them technical.

For me the 3 most technically sound fighters in the game are:

#1 - Floyd

#2 - JMM

#3 - Ward

After that it can be debated but the boxing skill these guys possess is special.

Yea Sergio needs to not be on that list, Wlad should certainly be in his place and probably 2 or 3 I will say 3 because Ward is a bit more versatile but I couldn't fault anyone putting him 2, then JMM 4, then 5 or 6 you could go with a few different guys Broner, Rigondeaux, Trout, some people might say Bradley (even though I think he gets wide and sloppy), B-Hop even at this late stage he is technically proficient.

Gary Russell Jr could easily be on this list as well.
