Best technicians of today's days?

hi, As an amateur boxer which pro fighters would you look up to in terms of technique and style? Also what do you think of Chris algieri is he a good boxer (good technique) ? Pacquiao-algieri? I am an amateur fighter and fighters I study (won't name them all, but a few) are: Floyd DLH Sweet Pea Rigondeux James Toney Locche Maidana JMM

Many of the guys are already mentioned, so I'll just add Mikey Garcia. To me he's a very sound technician in the ring. he's fairly one dimensional, against burgos he could had put him away had he just changed up his approach just a tad, instead of the constant 1-2 for 6 rd's straight, why not make it a jab-hook(left/right whichever)? i just remember being frustrated watching that fight thinking how if he'd just throw a different punch, it would be a shock to burgos because i swear the guy had literally gone a full 3 minutes at one point throwing nothing but a jab and straight right

one that im sure hasn't been mentioned and is perhaps a little controversial, i think is lucas matthysse, i think he's very smart, the guy never forgets the body, he bangs and throws every type of punch, even a technician like golovkin, does not really use his right hand for the body, it's almost always exlusively for headshots, matthysse, throws straight right hands to the pit of guys stomachs, jabs, right hooks, everything aswell as having very good defense underrated fighter, definitely skillwise

I would say Rigo because he counters with serious thunder.

Rigo, floyd, ward, GGG...all different styles but technically sound. GGG gets overlooked for his actual technical ability because of the freakish power IMO...he cuts off the ring so well and uses a stiff jab and body work to break opponents down and then drops the hammer on them. Lomenchenko seems pretty damn good in his own right.

Elite technicians IMO: May, Ward, Rigo, B-Hop Also great: Bradley, JMM, Nonito, Loma, GGG, Roman Gonzalez, Wlad, Canelo, Andre Dirrell, Frampton, Povetkin, Pulev, Pacquiao, Andrade (unproven yet but as I see), Lara, Gamboa (however he is reckless sometimes), Crawford, Mikey Garcia, Khan, Miguel Vazquez, Carlos Molina. Questionable ones: Algieri - What he did against Provo was nice but we will see what he will do against Pac and other decent opponents. Herrera - He did nice job against Danny however he has also 3 loss so I don't know. Danny Garcia - he does a lots of thing very well but he just can't do nothing when hehas to force the action, maybe he will improve this Broner - He has talent but his lateral movement is close to zero, maybe if he can improve that Charlo bros, Barthelemy, Thurman, Anthony Joshua, Walters - They all seem to be pretty good technicians but they are all unproven yet to say it for sure. Postol - His style is what many people call technical and maybe that's right but the guy seems to me a very robotic textbook fighterso far, but we will see maybe he is really technical. Anthony Dirrell - He did a pretty good job on Bika but he didn't look good, however it's really hard to look good against a rugged champion like Bika so I don't write off Anthiny yet, he has some skills we will se earlier or later that actually how much, These are the ones what came out of my mind suddenyl I guess I missed out a lot.

Floyd Mayweather, Juan Manuel Marquez, Vasyl Lomachenko, Nonito Donaire, Guillermo Rigondeaux, Roman Gonzalez, Gennady Golovkin, Viktor Postol, Bernard Hopkins, Juan Francisco Estrada, Andre Ward, Naoya Inoue.

Let's not forget Jorge Linares

Mayweather, and Rigo....then you have the rest

Most fighters with a good amateur background are technically proficient. Especially the Cubans; Rigo, Lara, Gamboa

I honestly think Loma is the most technical fighter out today. It's very movement based, and he does literally everything in the boxing handbook while twisting, pivoting, bending, dipping, and with movement at all times.

In my opinion, the best technician today is absolutely Guillermo Rigondeaux. Then you got Floyd, Lomachenko and Ward followed by Golovkin and JMM. Klitschko and Canelo deserve mention as well.

Marquez and Hopkins, of course Floyd.. Those are the best

I think rigo, ggg, Loma, chocolatito, hell even Terrence crawford would rank as some of the best technicians of today's era. They are all technically sound and dominate their competition.

Rigo and lomenchenko, the dude that recently beat Russel Jr and lost to low blow salido, not 100% on how to spell his name sorry

juan manuel marquez is the guy i wish i could fight like

If you mean technical proficiency, it has to be Juan Manuel Marquez.

For pure technique the top boxers are Rigo, Maweather, and Ward. But there are different styles. If we're talking boxer/puncher then you have to throw Pac, Cotto, Donaire, GGG and Kovalev in the mix. Then you have the Bangers like Maidana and Kirkland. Algieri is a good boxer who knows his limitations. He understands he's a boxer with no pop, so he won't try to step outside of his game plan and mix it up. So if he sticks to his game plan, uses his reach and length, he may be able to cause Pac some issues in the fight. Having said that, I still feel as though he does not deserve to share the ring with Pac at this stage in his career. If Algieri had a couple more notable wins and at least one good win at welter weight then I could stand behind the fight. Thanks for the answer it was great! I agree with you algieri should fight at least 1 or 2 more notorious guys before stepping up against manny pacquiao but full credit for him for beating provodnikov and Emmanuel taylor.
