    Gerry Penalosa deserves a shout. His punching form was beautiful.

    I actually think theres a lot to be learned from watching some vintage Bernard Hopkins as well.

    Napoles baited his own head... And I would never call Giardello fundamentally sound, he had more of a self developed style.

    It took so long to mention Harold? He is the best when it comes to this. If you want to learn how to do any technique properly watch Harold J.

    Yes..you're right about Giardello...he was essentially a selftaught guy who learned a full bag or two of the black arts of boxing...a wizard who fit no basic template, IMO.
