Who was the most technically sound boxer to lace up gloves?

[GTL]

I'm not talking about handspeed, athlecism, or anything like that.. Who was the most technically sound boxer to lace up a pair of gloves?

I have to say, just pure boxing skills, it's Pernell Whitaker. He did have fast hands but he just boxed circles around his opponents.

agreed on pernell but I think of this generation its Winky.

Ray Robinson. Defense, offense, light on his feet, power, head movement, combinations, chin, heart, durability, smart. Pretty much everything I want in a boxer is in Ray Robinson.

There's no way you can say P. Whitaker because his speed made him very unorthodox which is the opposite of technically sound. His speed allowed him to get away with things you would never teach a young fighter. He would move in akward angles, duck down all the way untill his butt touched the floor, I'm not saying P. Whitaker wasn't technically sound if he wanted to be but he definitly wasn't that in the ring.

I would say Ray Robinson, Finito Lopez, Julio Cesar Chavez, Oscar De Lahoya, Winky Wright, those are some I can think of right off the top of my head.
