    Rocky Lockridge and Ray Mancini deserve a mention a half notch below the ones already mentioned.

    Braxton/Qawi also (despite being a pretty cagey technician)

    Love the Murata shout. That got me to thinking of Lupe Pintor. But I honestly don't know about Pintor. Despite his short stature, he was a little more technical boxer one might expect. Not sure. But the late Johnny Owen was a withering pressure fighter.

    Also:
    Barry McGuigan - Had a good jab, but was constantly pressing forward behind it.
