    Joe Walcott maybe. If we're talking rhythm, fluidity , combinations and movement.

    Hagler
    MW Hopkins.

    My definition of smooth is efficiency meaning a combination of offense and defense, so I'd say Louis, SRR, Duran, Ali

    benitez was very smooth, and juan manuel marquez throws some of the smoothest combos ive ever seen, they pour out of him like tea from a pot

    Of the HWs, Joe Louis.

    of them all, Robinson.

    Duran gets a mention too.
