Interesting that Rigo didn't make the list, but Broner did, when "The Problem" should be pulling up the rear. I mean, even with the listed names, no way Adrien should be ahead of JMM.

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.

1. Floyd
2. Rigo
3. Donaire
4. Ward
5-6. Gamboa / Marquez / Vlad
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.Last edited by The Gambler1981; 12-05-2012, 03:11 PM.
