I agree with both lists. These guys are very technical that they also can go to a plan B or C. They can adjust in a fight on the fly

[The Surgeon]

Mayweather at one, not just a fast guy with reflexes - he is very technical and can break an opponent down in a multitude of ways

Hopkins, old as ***** with poor work rate and average power - still kickin ass because he is so clever and technical, has he ever been hit with a half decent combo of 3 or more shots flush??? Just takes ur weapons away from u

Ward, Technical guy who likes to get rough and take it to the inside alot, people who dont box may not realise how hard it is to get on a guys chest like Ward has been doing and not really take anything much back at that range while working him over, can box great at range too

Marquez, Old War Horse might not be as technical as he once was but he always knows what shot to throw and when to throw it, he counters and throws in combination better than anyone, Knows how to use the jab properly and does not neglect the body.

I'll go with Wlad Klitchko at 5 i think, boring as hell and overly cautious but the guy just aint getting hit and knocks most guys out, his jab is incredible when he snaps it out and his movement is excellent especially for such a big man, he delivers his hook and cross so technically correct and with such force. I just which he'd throw them more. He does break a man down physically and mentally before unloading the big guns
