    You’re picks for the top 10 or more greatest slick boxers of all time, p.s. I don’t consider a Mayweather a slick boxer he’s more of a technical boxer.

    I don't want to list ten

    Muhammad Ali - at least in his prime, he could be considered slick, especially against the ropes.
    Roy Jones JR
    Sugar Ray Leonard, and Robinson
    Canelo (great slick, defensive counterpuncher)

    Lionel Rose

    Salvador Sánchez
    Tommy Hearns
    Miguel Canto
    Michael Nunn
    Ernesto Marcel
    James Toney
    Floyd Mayweather Jr
    Dwight Muhammad Qawi
    Muhammad Ali
    Pernell Whitaker
    Wilfred Benítez
    Happy Lora
    Henry Hank
    Hilario Zapata
    Nicolino Locche
    Gilberto Román
    Too Sharp Johnson

    To name a few, and that's in no order.
