Most technical boxer of all time?

Liston, boxer/puncher is a great call. As with, say, Duran, sometimes the technical abilities can be overshadowed by the more instantly gratifying display of power and, in Duran’s case, animalistic malice.

When these types of guys can no longer rely as heavily on their power advantage, their technical abilities and savvy are sometimes peeled back to better effect.

For e.g. - though he could still thump, while no longer possessing the speed, energy and snap for his peak, sum power, Liston’s later career dismantling of Henry Clark is a very enjoyable watch in so far as Sonny’s boxing skills being well on display.

 

That's the first name that came to me!

 

Mike Tyson was better at countering the jab.

 

For pure textbook boxing:

Alberto Davila
Joe Louis
Harold Johnson
Alexis Arguello
Ricardo Lopez
Carlos Zarate
Yuri Arbachakov
Juan Manuel Marquez
Donald Curry
Eder Jofre
Roman Gonzalez

 

Hagler,Toney, Mayweather jr, Curry, Holzfield Lopez, Juan Manuel Marquez and many others

 

I’m probably not qualified to give an opinion on this but for me Duran.
