..The Five BEST Pure TECHNICIALS In Boxing...

[THe TRiNiTY]

no, but its awkward and not very technical. doesn't cut off the ring. no foot feints. no lateral movement. Just the same one dimensional back and forth all the time.

But it's his style. So his technique, whether conventional or not, is performed very well. Furthermore, if you have only a couple of moves you're performing, but it works VERY well for your style, it's still great. It doesn't need to be a lot of things that you do. Just make what you do, work for you.

my list is exactly the same as the thread starter, though i have to disagree with one thing, if ivan kept his skills at 147, he'd still be p4p number 2 imo, because as gifted as he is, and believe me, he is very gifted, the closest to mayweather imo, floyd is the total package in skills as well as mindset. ivan is fast as **** and his defense is phenonmenal, but his footwork is what makes him fantastic the most, because he can move very well, but floyd's upperbody movement matches his footwork. ivan's upperbody movement doesn't match his footwork that well imo, floyd would still be number one, and he is a smarter fighter. ivan is just so naturakky gifted, it kind of scares me, i mean, he is just so fun to watch, he's so good, and you can see how pure he is in the ring, he belongs at the number 2 spot for sure, and i believe he will reach top spot eventually once floyd retires, he just needs to test himself at higher weight. skillwise, nobody in boxing can really match a mayweather and calderon, and guzman is getting there though. he is also very skilled with a lot of power, but he can get sloppy in the ring at times, but does so with a lot of force, and him having floyd sr, only makes him better. we'll see him in the p4p list also and i can also see him being number 1 once floyd leaves and i can see him outclassing the **** out of manny, no doubt about it. paulie is a great boxer and i have him number 4, he's fast, elusive, and has arguably the quickest feet in boxing imo, he is also a very pure fighter, which i why i see nobody at 140 beating him. paulie is the man, if only his power increased a little more, he'd be top 3 p4p imo only behind floyd and cotto who is over pacman imo. guzman gets my vote for number 5 because of his counterpunching ability. he may be the biggest threat to any top fighter in his weight class or out of any weight class imo. i see him beating pacman in a tough fight and i also see him flooring pacman, and yes, pac could knock him out, but i just don't see it happening.

these are my top 5, great list c-drone.

didn't your high school english teachers ever tell you .... 5-8 sentences per paragraph.

You serious? Don't mistake elusiveness with "technical skill." There are a lot of "technical skills" in boxing, including punch delivery, defense when coming forward, etc.

Your list sucks

i haven't seen him adapt, either. so how is he skilled then? because he boxes on the outside, right?

all flash, no substance. kind of like your list.

And for the record, i saw him get battered by cotto, who showed and has shown much more verstality to his game.

every fighter you mentioned are fighters who box on the outside. one dimensional in your thinking.

Ever heard of Juan Diaz?

OKay. Did you even read anything other than the elusive comments? You mean to tell me, you'd exclude for example.. Mayweather and Calderon?

Why are you upset over this list? And Juan Diaz throws bunches of punches. It's not technical. He'd make another of my lists. Not this one.

People just don't respect boxers anymore. ****ing pathetic. Go watch UFC.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

Every single fighter you mentioned are fighters who box on the outside.

Inside fighters have skills. They find openings too. They just aren't unskilled brawlers who throw alot of punches.

By the way, you've only pointed out Paulie as a flaw. Whats wrong with my "flashy" list, toehr than him. Argue that Mayweather and Calderon aren't technically brilliant fighters. Argue that Marquez isn't a master technicial.

[deevel79]

In regards to Paulie, i wouldnt say he was technically brilliant. He moves in circles while flicking a limp-wrist jab in the air for the majority of the fight.
