        Also like what I see from Gary Russell Jr. he is not just a guy with Speed...he has excellent boxing skills and also good defense

        I agree with Mikey Garcia As Well, outstanding Counter Puncher already

        also Keith Thurman is another guy that impresses me a lot, excellent Speed and Power but he is a boxer, not just a brawler looking for KO's

        Mercito Gesta is another guy as well who impresses me after watching him a few times, seems like another well rounded young fighter
        Excellent post my good man!!

            Delorme can be technical too.
            I agree with Iron. I think guys like Broner & a young Floyd were way more techniqal than RJ and so on.

            Also, being technical and being elite are 2 totally different things. If Broner steps up in comp and loses or looks suspect that still doesnt mean he's not technically sound. He is. He has good fundementals. He just needs experience.

            You also cant penalize a guy because he's fast & has reflexes. Sometimes when you are like that everyone just assumes you have no fundementals but that isnt always true

              Gary Russell Jr too. I think he's gonna be real nice once his game comes full circle. He does get tagged every now & then. Tighten up that d a little & he becomes a serious problem. Big Mikey Garcia & Broner fan as well.

                Abner Mares.

                Don't know why people overlook the kid.

                  absolutely.

                  Just because a guy is unconventional (Floyd,Broner) or likes to mix it up (Barrera, Marquez) doesnīt mean they arenīt technically sound...

                  Iīd go as far as to say Abner is one of the most complete younger guys now. Thomas Dulorme comes to mind as well, heīs cut from a similar cloth althoug he isnt as active.

                  Also, the brother who made the reference to Demetrius Andrade and Chad Dawson was spot on. Its a shame Dawson doesnt possess that same finisher attitude, they are both heavier guys who fight like very athletic welterweights.
