    Nice vid! Thanks. That right is sublime.

    From this footage he did seem like he preferred to clinch on the inside instead of work there, though.

    He's so good in terms of technical proficiency, but any trainer who says "fight like Harold Johnson" is a *******! If you take Lopez as a counterpoint, he's all over YouTube and probably better on the outside, which is saying plenty.

    This would be my choice. He was a text book boxer. Someone else said Marquez. He came from the same school as Lopez under Beristain.

    Howard Davis Jr. Perfect mechanics, very fluid and loose. Not everyone can be a born KO puncher, but if you put in enough time everyone can be a good technical boxer.
