Second best pure boxer around 140-154?

probably Juan Manuel Marquez, wouldn't say he is a "PURE BOXER" though If you count him at 140-154 ,yeah, but he was a beast around 126 or so, everything he had the total package.

malinaggi is a very good boxer. . Like he has a choice. lol

usually by now, someone mentions Zab Judah in these threads. And what a shame it was that he was trained by his kickboxer dad. or that he's crazy. or that he's lazy. or how he beat every man he ever got in the ring with as a pro Except like, 6 of um.or how he only got knocked out twice (three if you were watching the clottey fight, with both eyes open.)or how that knockdown of Floyd would've changed the psychological approach by the mayweather team if it got counted.

Lara is worth a shout + Brook lara has terrific skills he's had some fights that have not wowed me, but he's certainly a very good boxer. he had no business drawing with molina and he beat the hell out of williams

Lara is worth a shout + Brook

yeah the really isn't much outside Floyd around his weight divisions

Linares..but I dunno if he's 40' yet I think he's still 135. He's good though.

lol Not Guzman. Maybe 5 years ago. My vote would go for maybe Paulie or Khan. Lara/Molina are good as well. king carlos? malinaggi is a very good boxer. khan's really not a "pure boxer." it's kind of a funky term. i generally reserve it for great boxers. khan flurries and then uses footspeed to get the hell out of there, and recently he's turned into a bit of a runner into the late rounds. to the TS: i'll offer some names who are very good boxers (but not floyd opponents, certainly: ) i'd say if you head to 135 you've obviously got marquez, the most skilled boxer outside of floyd at or around the weights, but he does a boatload more than just box but behind him is linares at 135 that kid is a terrific boxer, even if he's had some setbacks and hasn't proven to be very effective with his boxing. dzinziruk likewise is a very good boxer, but he's lacking in enough area's where he's not going to be a world beater with it. tim bradley has very nice boxing skills, but he does like to come forward in certain situations. again, no pure boxer cotto is faded as well, but he's always had good boxing skills and a good jab morales bag of tricks is second to none, but his body is so badly faded it doesnt do him much good anymore. still, at his best, though very far from a pure boxer, he had enough skill to outfox manny pacquiao not a great list, really (many guys are very faded,) outside of marquez, who is still a superb boxer, but who does many other things (like ****ing fight) at 118-122 you have two of the more "pure boxers" with rigo's odd ass stylings (if you want to call it boxing. the guy has been in the ring forver and you can call whatever he does whatever you'd like.) and chemito moreno, who is probably the best "pure boxer" in the world not named floyd mayweather or andre ward. andre ward is up there as well, though nowhere near the weight. he's pretty damn unbelievable.

linares ain't slick I'd say peterson # 2 and malignaggi #3 JMM better than both but nut a "pure" boxer

Yeah, Marquez is probably the best technical boxer outside of Floyd around that weight, even if he has become a bit a boxer-puncher the last few years. Guererro is also quite a tidy boxer. Cotto has his moments as a boxer, as do Bradley and Peterson, but none of them could accurately be called "pure" boxers. Scotland lightweight Ricky Burns is a decent stand-up boxer. And Zab Judah still has some slickness. But there's no Vernon Forrest type currently campaigning around Floyd's weight, unfortunately. Linares..but I dunno if he's 40' yet

I like Carlos Molina.

El Dinamita tiene mejor estilo que Mayweather.I've been saying this for like forever.

te mande Red K :dance: Que carajo me importa a my si me mandastes red K? Metete el red K por el Culo!!!

Y Mayweather le rompio la cara a "El Dinamita" te mande Red K :dance:

El Dinamita tiene mejor estilo que Mayweather. Y Mayweather le rompio la cara a "El Dinamita"

Malignaggi's definitely not a pure boxer, but neither is Tim Bradley I guess. And Paulie's what I'd call quasi-slick. He often looks the part, but put him in against anything resembling top competition and he gets hit a lot.

Joan Guzman.
