    Moore and Bhop would be good options, as others have said. Toney would be a good option as well.

    Burley deserves to be there.

    floyd is very good on every corner. athletic, good counter puncher, great reflexes, fast, quality puncher, good at figuring out his opponent during the fight, one if not the best defender ever. the total package.

    benny leonard or pepp are great by far away from being very athletic boxers.

    jones jr. the most athletic boxer ever, only problem is, he relied too much on reflexes than on actual boxing technic, that why he lost so much and got punched so much in the last few years.

    Mayweather. Very intelligent inside the ring. Every move Mayweather makes is done for a reason.

    ****ing Christ...

    You need to understand what good technique is (and how its spelled) before making your lists.

    "Good boxing technique" is referring to executing textbook moves, on balance and with proper form.

    On your list, half those guys (Ali, RJJ, Sweet Pea) had bad technique but were dominant because they had amazing reflexes and athleticism. If you need an indicator, fighting with your hands down and showboating is a flashing beacon of "I don't give a **** about technique" style of fighting.

    Here is a better list:

    Wladimir Klitschko
    Joe Louis
    Floyd Mayweather Jr.
    Willie Pepp
    Sugar Ray Leonard
    Bernard Hopkins
    Sugar Ray Robinson
    Tommy Hearns

    he said IQ, not technique. For me, its Ali. Floyd would never fight monsters like foreman and liston and toy with them..that IQ.

    Would say Hopkins but his losses against Taylor are a huge blemish to his resume and how I view him as a fighter, so Mayweather who has very little weaknesses in the ring take this easily.
