    Just thought this thread deserves to stay alive.

    I'd say Gary Russell Jr. deserves a mention based on what I've seen of him recently. He has that handspeed of his but he does use proper technique such as keeping his hands up, using the jab, and putting in combinations. So far I like what I see of him and I hope he doesn't change up his style where he has to rely on his speed and athleticism.

    More like the Roy Jones Jr of his era than a Marquez or Ricardo Lopez type in terms of textbook.

    Now this is a good mention.

    Mentions like Toney and Canzoneri don't apply well.

    Noob question here: Is Ali's style solely based on his speed, athleticism, reflexes etc or does he have great fundamentals?

    I put Ali in the same category as Roy Jones Jr. and Naseem Hamed. All speed, athleticism, and reflexes with bad fundamentals.
