    I thought Willie Pep first, then Wilfred Benitez, and Emile deserves a shout out as well (he invented the term 'counter-jab')

    Tommy Hearns, Ken Buchanan, both could be, and were beaten, but neither were ever OUTBOXED.

    oh yeah if the judges say it, it must be true. Just like when Bradley beat Pac and that one judge had Holyfield beating Lennox.

    Howard Winestone was pretty much impossible to outbox. You have to be unoutboxable to be a world class fighter for that long without having any punching power.

    Hearns put on a clinic in outboxing Wilfredo. Of course this was at higher weights, but imo he was fantastic at 154.

    at 135 was impossible to get around. You had to deal with him on the inside and no where else.

    Same thing. You may think you are looking good but before you know it, you are taking a ten count.

    Montell Griffin was out boxing him until Roy's power turned the fight around.
