    Who are some fighters that you can think of whose punching technique, accuracy, punch selection and combinations that you would consider as "picture perfect"? Ones who rarely waste punches and have scored some beautiful KOs along the way.
    Joe Louis is an obvious one. Who else?

    Sugar Ray had some beauties. Fullmer with the left, and Graziano with the right. And the smooth walk to the neutral corner always adds points

    I really didn't think he was as good as everyone else seems to think, But the first guy who came to mind was Donald Curry

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned Louis yet.

    At heavyweight, Joe Louis without a doubt, and it ain't close. At lower weights, Robinson, Chavez, Jones, Leonard, and... dammit, I'm sure I'm missing at least five or six, and will kick myself if someone else names them.
