    Some posters here claim that there's a bias against 30's HWs in favor of HWs of more recent times. Therefore, I present the opportunity to vote for who was the best technican of Louis (best HW of the 30's) and Lewis, Vitaly and Wlad (quite arguably the best HWs for the last 15-20 years).

    Between Louis and Wlad imho. Louis had his blistering combinations; Wlad has a better sense of strategy and distance.

    The thread is not about strategy, just strictly technique.

    Technique as in punching?..or per punch not putting everything together?

    Wlad Klitchko has perfect punches and for his size is overwhelmingly more talented than any on that list.A smaller guy is able to be a bit more crisp bc hes lighter.

    when you make a thread like this all the fighters throw certain punches better.

    vitali wasnt as much technique as he was looping and shovel shots. his technique worked with his style.

    Wlad really should be the answer as ive rarley see him off on precision technical punchingi f we are going all around how they delivered the punch.

    You can make an argument for louis bc he didnt use long range had had more diversity .But give me Wlads jab and straight right along with his left hook off the jab anyday.


    Lewis was a step below in terms of crisp technique but had that uppercut ,solid jab ,really knew how to set punches up with the jab as he didnt use it as much as a power punch like Wlad. He was not as refined with the punches as Wlad,whos were faster and more crisp.

    i have to say Wlad.
