I would say Winky Wright or Juan Diaz for a solid fundamental "amateur" boxing style, gloves held high with simple but effective punching and combinations.

For footwork I would personally say Bernard Hopkins - His balance and poise on the inside, and outside, is amazing.

Mayweather obviously has very good footwork, but his may be a little more difficult to "emulate"

As for a jab, I like Winky personally, although you should work on throwing all types of jabs, fast, stiff, pawing, etc etc and use them when neccessary.

For a good orthodox jab, how can you look past Klitschko? He can control a fight with his movement and jab, even though he's a horrendously rigid fighter.

I agree with this, on the most part.

Right: B-Hop, Morales

Left Hook: Rocky Jaurez

Tyson, Whitaker, Toney is good for the roll.

Tyson is more of a squared off stance, side to side slips, whitaker is more angled off with up and down slips which is the way i slip.
