    Which fighters did you admire, and what fights are great examples of a slick fighter?

    Ofc guys like Sugar Ray Leonard, Roy Jones, Sugar Ray Robinson... Walcott - Louis 1 is a good example.
    A good recent example is Frnank Sanches vs. Efe Ajagba.

    Besides Pep, Whitaker, Locche, Mayweather, Benitez I think these guys epitomized the term slick.

    Wilfred Benitez, James Toney, Sumbu Kalambay and Chris Byrd to name a few. Hard to go wrong with Toney-McCallum and Leonard-Benitez when it comes to a technical, slick fights.

    Whitaker. Laguna. Benitez.

    Not a huge fan of any of them, but they all certainly fit the bill.

    Oh sorry I forgot about him. I'll add him, Bobby Chacon, Danny Lopez, and Matthew Saad Muhammad to the list of great defensive fighters as well.

    Michael Nunn made it look so easy and smooth. Amazing reflexes and balance. So gifted at his peak. Boxing with his hands down can’t hit him and his work rate was also elite.
