    There are so many awesome countepunchers with energy conversion efficiency and he picks Lara, who is literally running in some fights.

    Wlad (aesthetically perfect straight hand and combo left-right)
    De La Hoya (like Holmes)
    Napoles

    I'd say a Sugar Ray Leonard a guy who had great fundamental skills but also unreal athletic talent

    As much as I enjoy watching greatness I have a special place for over achieving guys who arent the fastest or the biggest hitters or unbelievably athletic but are fighters by trade. They have the fundamentals just right and compensate the physical deficiencies with experience and dedication and can overcome better more gifted fighters through boxing

    I guess a fighter who I like who falls in that category would be a Caleb Truax type. Good techinique, nothing flashy, definitely a fighter. Not the most accomplished but the type of fighter I appreciate in the sport
