Who is the best technician in the game right now?

[IronDanHamza]

Definitely Mayweather at this point. Hard to argue otherwise.

Rigondeaux is definitely up there. I think he's great at what he does but like someone else noted I think he can be a little one dimeonsinal.

He doesn't have an inside game at all from what I've seen. He's great at making people fight his fight and when they fight his fight he looks untouchable. I'd like to see how he copes and adjust when someone forces him to not fight his slow paced fight.

Not saying he can't deal with it I just haven't seen it yet.

[intoccabile]

Maybe, but I would like to see Rigondeaux prove himself against more elite level fighters first. It's hard for me to rank him ahead of Mayweather and Ward at the moment. He sure as hell made me a believer last night though.

Donaire was regarded as the second to fifth best fighter in the world. No one he faces from here on out will mean much in comparison to last night.

he fought THE fighter, he won easily.

Why is Bhop not included? Feel Broner needs an honorable mention at this stage. Rigo is a good shout, but Mayweather takes it.

name me a fight in which floyd showed his technial dominance againts a fighter the caliber of nonito or better....jmm?..we all know that was mismatch from the start.. corrales? lol ..gatti?..yeah right, hard to argue my ass

Floyd schooled the hell out of Marquez and made him look like a bum. People called Marquez shot then next thing you know Marquez knocked out pacquao. Marquez is a greater win than donaire and people Dont credit Floyd for that schooling at all.

LOL...I'm not answering this question fired up and running off last nights fight.


I'll bump in maybe a couple of weeks.

Yeah, I think because people are factoring in losses as well. If you look at it from the standpoint that BHOP relies solely on experience and skill to win his fights due to age instead of other natural advantages associated with age, reflexes, speed, power, etc., BHOP is the man without a doubt.

He makes people fight his fights, controls the pace, distance, style of fight and negates others advantages. Floyd is looking worse with each fight as he gets older and Ward is severely injury-prone and may not be what he once was when he returns. Rigo is in his 30's too but looks like he is always in incredible shape and has little wear and tear on him.

Rigo technically, but Ward has proven it more times.

Come on man, JMM moved up to a weight where he had no experience at all and he did so by adding fat to his frame. Floyd then came in heavy which gave him an added advantage and JMM looked slow as heck due to the weight gain.

If Floyd fought JMM in September and JMM was in the same shape he was for the last Pac fight, Floyd would get all the credit he wants but the situations aren't the same between the two fights.

thats coz that was a mismatch from the start.. not only was floyd noticeably bigger than jmm , jmm was also out of shaped ..

yeah styles make fights and floyd didn't use his size advantage but there had gotta to be a mental advantage there knowing your opponent was too small to hurt you...
