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

[Flab]

Juan Manuel Marquez, Oscar de la Hoya, James Toney, Floyd Mayweather, Zab Judah, take your pick.

I personally think Marquez is the most technically sound.

Terry Norris was'nt to shabby when he decided to play the counter puncher & use his Boxing Skills

[Jim Jeffries]

Against De La Hoya, Whitaker threw more, landed more and landed at a higher percentage. The judges scored 3 rounds for Whitaker.
The first Ramirez fight... yeah.
Julio Cesar Chavez, it's quite an easy fight to score and just about everyone scored it for Whitaker.

Whitaker was actually very active as a lightweight. He went to the body and stood his ground.

Oscar also landed more than twice the number of power punches in the fight.

I guess it depends on what you prefer.

3 rounds for Pernell was rediculous though.

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.

Pernell Whitaker was too unorthodox to be used as an example of being technically sound.

Im not nuthugging here...

But Floyd is absolutely Textbook to the Tee

You mean that guy who doesn't work behind the jab?

Cory Spinks is pretty slick (which is another way to say textbook).

Vernon Forrest sticks pretty close to the book too.

[Silencers]

Nowadays I think Kessler is the most textbook there is.

[Easy-E]

Whitaker was not technically sound, he often kept his hands down and would dodge punches just by moving his head, his absurd speed and reflexes were the reason he was able to work with that style.

mijares ****s all over today's fighters....his style is boxing itself...if that kid had power he would be unstoppable...
