U serious?? i'd say both b-hop and floyd arnt so much fluid punchers but more pot shotters, useing one accurate punch at a time instead of throwing punches in bunches. Unless the original poster is just talking punches in general and not only flurries and combos, then if so u are correct, both of those are fluid punchers.

Mayweather could throw a mean combo back at lower weights.
SOme of his handspeed, however, evaporated at welter.Comment

floyd mayweather jr. is the obvious choice for me. i've put in my threads and posts so many times of just how fluid an overall fighter he is, the most fluid fighter i've seen in over 3 decades and i have watched many fights over my 22 years of living.
i find myself going back to the justin jukko fight and the gatti fight as the perfect examples of his fluidity in the ring. from all sides of the ring, whether on the ropes, backing up to the ropes(hatton, check left hook) to how he feints with his jab, to his lead right hands and left hooks, i mean i could go on forever with this. point being, floyd mayweather is the most fluid fighter i've seen in many years, top 3 as far as his style goes imo with robinson and ali. this kid is just boxing at it's best.
other mentions-marquez, ali, calderon, jones jr is another obvious one but he did have the tendency to get really sloppy and awkward in many of his earlier fights. james toney and pernell whitaker as far as defense goes. zab judah also. shane mosley was pretty fluid to an extent, but his style was too upright for me and he looked sloppy in a lot of his fights, not really great balance like a mayweather or a jones jr. he looked great with his power and other things offensively, but not overall fluidness. he could be really stiff. cotto desevers mention seeing how he has improved so much over the years and is a top fighter. those are my picks with others guys like norris, taylor, srl, floyd mayweather sr. also in his prime and other fighters of yester-year.Comment

are you the one being serious. these guys didn't always potshot. i mean, they both could throw vicious combinations with very fluid movement like floyd did against gatti and and tony pep. i mean watch the fight gatti vs mayweather and watch round six to see on of the most fluent combinations in history thrown by mr. mayweather. he threw a nice left hook to the body followed by a left hook upstairs followed by a right right hook upstairs in a slapping kind of way. then he immediately threw a jab to the body, followed by a right hook upstairs followed followed immediatley by a left hook downstairs, followed by a jab to the body followed by a vicious right hook to his kidneys followed by another jab to the body followed immediately by another right hook to his body, and this was just round six. watch that combination and you tell me that not fluidity, power, speed, great technique. watch that whole fight to see fluidity. floyd landed some great punches on gatti, from that quick left counter in round one to. his flexibility, timing, and savvyness combined with his speed and power made for one fluid night. and this is just offense mainly i'm speaking on, not his defense. i mean floyd could angle his body so good that he could counter you from a block with his shoulders like he did with justin jukko. let's not forget floyd vs demarcus corley. his overall movement and punches were very fluent. just watch round 4 of that fight. i mean, fluidity isn't just about combos, it's about movement with any punch, defense, and more. so you say floyd potshots but leave out that he is one of the most sharpest punchers in history meaning, how beatuifully he throws his punches, and that you cannot deny. he throws them so naturally like how he fought corrales and n'dou. again i end with this. floyd mayweather jr. is boxing at it's best.U serious?? i'd say both b-hop and floyd aren't so much fluid punchers but more pot shotters, useing one accurate punch at a time instead of throwing punches in bunches.

yeah i'd have to agree with you on all thsoe points and his fight with gatti was a complete guide to masterful boxing i agree, but in his last few fights he's tended to pot shot and pick his shots far more than throwing combos look back at his fight with baldomir he just threw one punch at a time all night the same happended with his fight with de la hoya, and in my opinion the most evedent fight of his picking shots is his last fight with hatton, all evening he threw class lead right hands that basically took hatton apart.are you the one being serious. these guys didn't always potshot. i mean, they both could throw vicious combinations with very fluid movement like floyd did against gatti and and tony pep. i mean watch the fight gatti vs mayweather and watch round six to see on of the most fluent combinations in history thrown by mr. mayweather. he threw a nice left hook to the body followed by a left hook upstairs followed by a right right hook upstairs in a slapping kind of way. then he immediately threw a jab to the body, followed by a right hook upstairs followed followed immediatley by a left hook downstairs, followed by a jab to the body followed by a vicious right hook to his kidneys followed by another jab to the body followed immediately by another right hook to his body, and this was just round six. watch that combination and you tell me that not fluidity, power, speed, great technique. watch that whole fight to see fluidity. floyd landed some great punches on gatti, from that quick left counter in round one to. his flexibility, timing, and savvyness combined with his speed and power made for one fluid night. and this is just offense mainly i'm speaking on, not his defense. i mean floyd could angle his body so good that he could counter you from a block with his shoulders like he did with justin jukko. let's not forget floyd vs demarcus corley. his overall movement and punches were very fluent. just watch round 4 of that fight. i mean, fluidity isn't just about combos, it's about movement with any punch, defense, and more. so you say floyd potshots but leave out that he is one of the most sharpest punchers in history meaning, how beatuifully he throws his punches, and that you cannot deny. he throws them so naturally like how he fought corrales and n'dou. again i end with this. floyd mayweather jr. is boxing at it's best.Comment
