1. Willie Pep - no one can argue with this. He won a round without even punching.
2. Benny Leonard - the greatest counter puncher of all time. Master of the art of the feint.
3. Wilfredo Benitez - "the Bible of Boxing" - also, "El Radar" (the "Radar")
4. Nicolino Locche - impossible to hit even with his hands by his sides
5. Muhammad Ali - the pre-Vietnam version floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee with footwork of great dazzling qualities
6. Gentleman Jim Corbett - inventor of "scientific boxing"
7. Tommy Loughran - one of the great lightheavyweights of all time
8. Jose Napoles - he was called "mantequilla" ("butter") for a reason
9. Gene Tunney - should probably be ranked higher. Ran circles around the great Dempsey.
10. Billy Conn - known for his losses to Louis, he was untouchable at lightheavy.
Honorable mention: Pernell Whitaker, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Kid Chocolate
