Which Fighters Had the Most Pretty and Artistic Styles?

[GrandpaBernard]

What I mean are guys like Joe Louis, Hitman Hearns, Floyd Mayweather, Muhammad Ali, and even Pernell Whitaker. There's this grace to the way they fight.

I am trying to do a quick study and need help getting a larger sample.

Alexis Arguello
Harold Johnson
Emile Griffith
Ezzard Charles
James Toney

[Ray Corso]

The most pure stylistic pro fighter even though void of power was Willie Pep!!
I know long time boxing people who considered Pep the most amazing pure ring general of all time. He worked very hard at the "not getting hit" part of the game. He was extremely smooth and seemed to move effortlessly.
Sugar Ray Robinson was the poet of boxing and could move in and out of any style. He could move and box laterially or come striaght into his opponent. He could stop boxing and begin to slug with any opponent and could actually knock people out while backing up!! The most complete fighter of all time. Ray

Jose Napoles. Kid Gavilan, Wilfred Benitez.

Most may not agree but I always viewed Carlos Monzon's style as artistry.

Can't believe I forgot Gavilan.

You think Floyds style is pretty? He's damn good but his style isn't pretty. All his shots seem so energy consuming.

Chavez has a nice flow, Arguello, Ali looked great esp the way he threw his cross.

Try prime Meldrick Taylor. His combination punches were art!
