    who is the most graceful boxer of all time. like when you see them move throw punches and box you say to yourself, "damn this is artwork"

    Nicolino Locche, very aesthetically pleasing to watch although he was far from textbook.

    Id also say, Whittaker, Harold Johnson, Joe Louis, and Arguello

    edit- argh I forgot SRR

    robinson. he epitomized the slick fighter as a middleweight, and we didn't even get to see any of his fights as a prime welterweight, where he was truly beyond spectacular. srr never wasted any movements. everything he did was with a purpose, and he would throw lightning quick punches with devastating results. even muhammad ali copied him. next to sugar ray robinson i'd have to say butterbean

    A prime Muhammad Ali, like the one that was on show vs Cleveland Williams / Zora Foley. Big,Strong,Fast and Skilful...pure SILK. No doubt the most complete Boxer.EVER.

    Prime Jones and Ali. The two Sugar are obvious answers. I'm always in awe when I look at Hearns. The speed, power and reach in his straight punches are something else. Nowadays, I find Martinez and Donaire very slick.

    Young Roy Jones Jr. He had all the tools to be the GOAT.
