Not necessarily the best but here are some names that I can remember:
Pure boxer
Pernell Whitaker
Larry Holmes (not really a puncher in my opinion)
Boxer-Puncher
Marvin Hagler
Thomas Hearns
Alexis Arguello
Bob Foster
Swarmer
Joe Frazier
JC Chavez
Aaron Pryor
Slugger
George Foreman
Gene Fullmer
**** Tiger
It's hard to classify the style of most great fighters because they could fight in many different ways... Sluggers do not often make it to the top level.
I had a Swamer/In-Fighter in mind when I picked Chavez! Foreman was my choice of Slugger. I definately agree when you say he was an educated pressure fighter. Far more dangerous than a fighter who keeps coming straight at you. A fight with Duran would certainly have been interesting.
Yep.
Chavez vs Duran would of been a helluva fight. I think id pick Duran based on the fact he could stay in the pocket and counter puncher, and he was able to be defensive on the inside aswell as offensive.
Duran has more dimensions than Chavez i feel, although its probably still a pick em fight.

What a monster Pryor was. Which fight is it when he gets knocked down, jumps up straight away and throws himself at his opponent without taking a count from the ref? Hilarious! I've only watched him against Arguello I & II and Cervantes, but I've seen that clip from a highlights vid.

It was his fight against Akio Kameda. I'm almost certain that he did it in another fight as well when he was knocked down.
