      Im doing pretty well, thank you. Keep hanging in there and fighting the good fight fight. You're a good man and one of my favorites on this site. Miss not having you post as much in this section, but its understandable.

        Ivan Calderon, Tony Canzoneri, Ricardo Lopez, Alexis Arguello, Antonio Cervantes

        Nothing particularly athletic about them but through their skills, gets the job done.

          Benny Leonard might be the most underrated and might very well be the top of the class of our discussion

            It can be very difficult to envision what was the TS was asking for (which was pure skill) to a fighter with very minimal footage like Benny.

            Except maybe you totally believe a reporter's blow by blow accounts which can be very exagerated.

                First name that came to mind for me without looking through the thread is Mike Mccallum

                Excellent technician

                Bernard Hopkins is another

                  Iron Mike Tyson under Cus, his peek a boo technique was some of the best pieces of boxing ever.

                    Wouldnt have been as effective without his lightning speed and explosiveness though i think

                      I can't see why people are discounting fast fighters, lets be honest most elite fighters are quick, not giving tyson credit for his peak a-boo style because he was fast is abit silly
