    The only two?

    What about James Toney? Felix Trinidad? Floyd Mayweather?

    Wlad Klitschko
    Bernard Hopkins
    Roy Jones
    Oscard De La Hoya
    Shane Mosley
    Paulie Malinagialgialgialgliag
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Joan Guzman



    And so on and so on. His claim is a bogus one.

    I don't think these guys are as good as Dariusz and Lopez, for recent fighters. They're good, not terrific. I think Nazarov was more accurate than any of those guys as well.

    Arguello misses with a lot of punches in that clip. Yes, he scores some accurate punches, including the final shots, but I see him missing his target a lot prior to that.

    Arguello has to get at least a significant nod here, there are very few others I've seen throw with that sort of sharpness and explosiveness and yet be so perfectly on target.

    Perhaps the ultimate example of Arguello's craft: (be sure to have the sound turned on, it's a hell of a thud)

    [yt]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NGIUQ1mcZ_U&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NGIUQ1mcZ_U&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/yt]

    Also, there are some impressive shots in this sample from Legendary Nights:

    [yt]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/I0hs4acqV9w&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/I0hs4acqV9w&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/yt]

    Some others, just from the top of my head:

    Joe Louis, the master of the six inch knock you the hell out punch.
    Julio Cesar Chavez, a surgeon who picked guys apart.
    Kostya Tszyu has that perfect straight right.
    Roy Jones' right cross was like a guided missle.
    I never saw Felix Trinidad miss more than he hit, even against Whitaker.
    Whitaker was a very sharp and accurate puncher himself.
    When he was on, Tommy hearns' punches always seemed to be hitting the target.
    Jersey Joe Walcott's accuracy was one of his strengths.
