    Juan Manuel Marquez is the most textbook fighter, technically.

    Kessler is another. I personally am more impressed with Donaire's athleticism than his technique, which I don't honestly consider to be elite level.

    Most Baristain fighters fight with that same style. Ricardo Lopez was even better than Marquez. Abner Mares fights offensively with a similar technique, but is not as good as the others mentioned, nor does he look to have that kind of potential in my opinion.

    Offensively, Cotto is textbook technical pressure. Defensively he's not quite there though, so I'd be hard pressed to include him in this list, but he should be considered.

    His defensive holes are glaring at times but in recent bouts he's been caught when not focused. His ability to adapt when caught in a defensive lapse is one of his greatest attributes....when Cotto is put in a defensive mode he can block bob and weave with the best of them, I think once he perfects the offensive/defensive relationship he will become nearly impossible to defeat. Then again any decent fighter who perfects that will also be impossible to defeat so you do the math lol.
