    Who are some of the best pure boxers in the sport? Guys who outbox their opponents and win decisions?

    You do realize that winning by decision has nothing to do with pure boxers

    Mayweather was, he has slipped a bit. Ward will take that mantle if he ever fights again. Those 2 stand above all others in terms of pure boxers.

    Rigo and Terrence Crawford are quite good.

    I remember watching Ivan Calderon when he first started and I that was the purest boxer I've ever seen live…smooth, crisp and technically sound. Of course he's not everyones cup of tea but his abilities were poetic.

    I like Kova man and he's got good all around skills plus crushing power but he's no where near the guys mentioned in terms of pure boxing I know your not that biased theres some objectivity in that stubborn head of yours :good
