...for technical skills and other skills, my choice would be a guy like alexis arguello and joe louis because they were very textbook, monte cox said kid chocolate would be good because he learnt watching the same way, guys like Gans etc. and he was a very good fighter to observe in terms of fundamentals, any other choices?...
Put on McCallum/Toney, Frazier/Ali I, Duran/Leonard I, Pryor/Arguello I, Locche/Fuji, Chavez/Rosario. The last two being for the winners putting on a clinic, but the others for the introductory fight of both the fighters.
Harold Johnson, Duran, McCallum, Kalambay are guys that come to mind. Hagler, Hopkins, Holyfield and Bowe as well.
Barrera-Hamed is probably a good watch in terms of how flawed fundamentals will come back to haunt you when you come across a top-notch technician.
This was going to be my second answer, minus Pryor and Moon. Oh, gosh, yes! SNV VS Beck was godly! I tell everyone! [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VldGL5Un7Ds[/ame]

All of those fighters named are excellent technically sound fighters. But it probably comes down to what style is right for you. I strongly doubt that Eddie Futch would've had Joe Frazier studying Joe Louis. Or Ike Williams studying Joe Frazier. And so on...
not necessarily, look at Tyson, he had stlye which was nothing like a Joe Louis and yet he constantly watched guys like Louis, Robinson even though his style resembled Dempsey more, any type of fighter can learn SOMETHING watching Louis, SRR, Moore becasue they had the fundmentals down to a tee, but also subleties which could be put into anyone's game.
