    Who are the top 5 technical boxers of today?

    When I say technical, I'm looking for the smoothness in punching, fantastic balance, and beautiful timing. Think long and hard, a lot of fighters have these qualities,just that some have it more so than others.

    In my opinion( in order):

    1.Guillermo "El Chacal" Rigondeaux
    2.Miguel "Mikey" Garcia
    3.Floyd "Money" Mayweather
    4. Gennady "GGG" Golovkin
    5. Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin.

      the

      First three are spot on...id replace the last two with wladimir klitschko whose overtime became the complete package on offense, defense, counters, and ring generalship. Andre ward can do it all too. Hopkins deserves a mention.

          How in the world could any of you have the nerve to leave out Juan Manuel Marquez? He is by far one of the smartest and most technical boxers left today. In the Top 5 easy, without any doubt.

                    Why do you guys feel Martinez is a top5 technical boxer? He's very unorthodox to me.
