      I really don't think there's anyone.

      He fought sort of crouched with a high guard and was an expert at countering and simply throwing shots whilst being in position to defend or attack and always remain in balance and poised. He was a marvel. His entire career only one man beat him and both losses were to ATG Harada in Japan and controversial (the first fight was a ripoff) and that was also when he was depleted making weight at the end of his reign. The fights were also marred by Harada being allowed to fight dirty.

        btw the same can be said for the majority of countries around the world, boxing has mainly been a western pursuit throughout modern history

          Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Checked the documentary jofre seemed like a great all rounder.
          Thanks for making me aware of him and I agree haven't seen a style remotely close to his today.

            No worries. The sad thing about Jofre footage is that apparently in the 1980's the TV company that owned all his South American fights burned down so there's basically no full fights out there. There's only been three full fights that made there way to collectors - Medel I, Harada I & II.
