    My Mount Rushmore in terms of visually appealing skill sets:

    Off all time
    Toney, Nunn, Hearns and Leonard

    Currently
    Lomachenko, Tevin Farmer, Bivol, Rigo (I'd have Floyd under current but he's retired)

    Always enjoyed seeing James Toney counter punching and defence work, what he did looked like art, something from a movie.
