    Julio Cesar Chavez is a good example of this.

    I think Mike McCallum deserves mentioning. Great technician he is.

    Wow! Thanks for mentioning Orlando Canizales. Just started watching some of his fights and he's really impressive! Very technically skilled, smooth and elegant. Great combo and counter puncher. And his footwork is amazing. I gotta watch more of him. Something tells me he might be a new favorite of mine the more I watch him.:D
    His KO highlights, oh my god!

    :happy Yay! Love for Orlando! Thanks guys! If you made a mistake, he would make you pay! As for that amazing footwork (slips and dodges)...

    My Story of Half-Shame:

    I'm a big fan of the Victorious Boxers video games series (eg. Boxer's Road 2, Victorious Spirits) and went looking for real-life boxers who resembled that gameplay - he has the closest footwork I have ever seen to it.

    Bottomline, if you like Fight Night series (except FN 2004) :boxer, go for Amir Khan - throws quantity not quality, no true counterpunching, has to backpedal and ride bicycle before resetting

    If you like Victorious Boxers series:bbb, go for Orlando, JMM et al - stay in the pocket, intelligently counterpunch and capitalise on their mistakes

    OK, back on-topic, I hafta go check out Lopez (for shame:gsg, I have never seen him fight (I don't think)

    BTW, cool ultra cute avatar (no Paedo)

    Andre Ward deserves mentioning after last night's performance. Great boxing skills. Shades of Bernard Hopkins.

    Can't believe I'd forgotten this great...but would he qualify for this thread?

    Prime James Toney.

    As much as I admire the hell out of Toney, I really don't classify him. Great technique and all, just not what I would consider 'textbook'.
