    JMM. Probably the best in the world technically. He also has great punch resistance and heart. All things I admire in a fighter.

    I'd say Floyd Mayweather is the best technically, JMM can get sloppy at times, Floyd is always precise and has technical skill that is always inspiring, even if we hate his ignorant personality.

    You know, JMM and Kessler are kind of comparable. You know who else is amazing technically but gets underrated, Miguel Cotto.

    I think that Mayweather makes MORE tehnical errors than Marquez but I think that Floyd's speed compensates. For example, if Marquez positioned himself for counters like Floyd did, he would get tagged by the shot he is meant to be countering.

    Kessler is a wonderful technician, I agree. I think Cotto is underated as a technical puncher, but again, I think his positioning often leaves a lot to be desired.

    Joe Calzaghe - Followed him from almost day one. One of the most underrated boxers of all time up until the Americans finally took notice after the Lacy fight.

    Calzaghe-Exciting,handspeed,agressiveness. (Boy has his career been frustrating to watch though.

    Kessler-Love his technique,calm demeanour. None of that infantile smack talking that scum like Naz and Toney got up too. Turns my stomach. Just a very clean boxer to watch.

    Floyd-Hate his personality but the mans an artist in the ring.

    Chad Dawson-The greatest hope for U.S boxing if his chin holds up. Fast with good body punches.

    I second this plus he doesn't always talk trash - he lets his boxing talk for itself. He seems like he would be a down to earth nice guy too
