    We both share a great appreciation for that underrated performance Jeff.
    It doesn't get much more clinical.

    What's odd is that if asked to name my favorite fighters, Winky would be nowhere near the list. But on that night, he was simply amazing.

    Whitaker gets my vote as the technical ATG, though there are so many worthy names...

    Possibly the best technical boxer currently fighting is Sergey Kovalev. He's not slick, & he's not super fast, but he does everything right, and with absolutely no holes in his game.

    Andre Ward and Danny Garcia beg to differ.

    I think Arbachakov is a better version of Lopez, supurb Boxer/Puncher but had a better inside game. Plus he didn't have a size advantage over almost all his opponents.

    This is the general forum bro.

    98% of them don't know who Kalambay is.

    I'll go with Andre Ward and Floyd Mayweather, among active fighters.
