    Arguello's were of a high quality, no doubt. But Charles uses his jab, hook, and cross with a sense of greater fluidity than any i've ever seen.

    Ricardo Lopez had the best combination punching technique.

    Napoles could grind you down and methodically beat you to a pulp (vs Cokes..twice), lacerate you with a blizzard of punched (vs Pruitt II) or ko you with just one perfectly placed shot (vs Lopez II),

    As far as a compromise between power/accuracy and a mobile platform, i'd have to give some props to Ray Leonard. Stunning versatility of punches.

    Sugar Ray Robinson may be the best i've ever seen.

    Ike Williams also had terrfiic technique.


    And from the ones said already I'd say El Finito's was excellent as well as Arguello's 1-2. Near perfect.

    Big fan of Tommy Hearns 1-2 as well.

    Duran deserves a mention. Also see Ray Robinson, Tyson

    Mayweather has allot of talents, punching technique isn't his strong points though

    Mayweather's technique wasn't bad, I just don't think his hands could handle the stress of power shots.

    Marquez deserves a mention undoubtedly. Canizales was extremely fluid at putting together textbook combinations of all types.
