    Golovkin.
    Maybe Inoue I'm not certain why he has as much power as he does so I can't say for certainty.
    Lomachenko but that kind of depends on outlook
    Crawford is VERY complete

    I'm only talking about active guys.

    Defensively and power wise. However offensive skill is MAB hands down.

    Loma slept somebody with a lead right. MAB threw lead rights. So does Linares.

    But this was probably sarcasm

    A lot of boxers throw lead right hands, but few are talented enough to use it as a bread and butter punch. I'm wondering if there existed a fighter who could comfortably use all of the punches that I listed.

    MAB threw lead rights, check hooks, etc. He threw basically every punch in the book except for jab to the body.

    Has to be, Linares is a poor man’s Khan, he looks nice but he has too many fragilities.

    I love body work, and MAB did the best body work of the guys you listed. Currently, I think Crawford does a great job of working both the body and the head.

    When Loma commits to his shots, his offense is amazing. He gets too cute with it sometimes, though, and starts to pitty pat a bit.

    I never heard "offensive technician" be used before.
    Loma is the better overall fighter.
    I voted for Linares because hes has the exciting beautiful combos and therefore before to watch. Linares combos remind me of Sugar Ray Leonard.

    Alexis Arguello ??
    Classic boxer who could throw most punches.

    Be surprised if Sugar Ray Robinson couldn't use most punches.

    Skill is measured by success, not style. It's not a shadow boxing competition, you have to use that skill to not get stopped.
