For pure technique the top boxers are Rigo, Maweather, and Ward. But there are different styles. If we're talking boxer/puncher then you have to throw Pac, Cotto, Donaire, GGG and Kovalev in the mix. Then you have the ****ers like Maidana and Kirkland.

Algieri is a good boxer who knows his limitations. He understands he's a boxer with no pop, so he won't try to step outside of his game plan and mix it up. So if he sticks to his game plan, uses his reach and length, he may be able to cause Pac some issues in the fight. Having said that, I still feel as though he does not deserve to share the ring with Pac at this stage in his career. If Algieri had a couple more notable wins and at least one good win at welter weight then I could stand behind the fight.

Thanks for the answer it was great!
I agree with you algieri should fight at least 1 or 2 more notorious guys before stepping up against manny pacquiao but full credit for him for beating provodnikov and Emmanuel taylor.

If you mean technical proficiency, it has to be Juan Manuel Marquez.

juan manuel marquez is the guy i wish i could fight like

Rigo and lomenchenko, the dude that recently beat Russel Jr and lost to low blow salido, not 100% on how to spell his name sorry

[El-blanco]

I think rigo, ggg, Loma, chocolatito, hell even Terrence crawford would rank as some of the best technicians of today's era. They are all technically sound and dominate their competition.

Loma's more of a boxer/puncher IMO. He's not a super technician like Rigo, Ward, Marquez, etc.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Marquez and Hopkins, of course Floyd.. Those are the best

[Szef]

In my opinion, the best technician today is absolutely Guillermo Rigondeaux.

Then you got Floyd, Lomachenko and Ward followed by Golovkin and JMM.

Klitschko and Canelo deserve mention as well.
