Who is the best technical boxer?? PBF or JMM

2/3's of decent trainers on the planet would tell an absolute novice who first stepped into the ring to fight more like JMM than Floyd. Barring superbly talented prodigy's.

I'll go with JMM, too.

 

Juan Manuel Marquez and it is not that close.

 

How do you guys define a technical boxer?

 

JMM.

PBF relies a lot on his athleticism to get it done while JMM is pure "sweet science".

 

Floyd is great, technically.

But still, he does have a lot of pure "talent" and speed that allows him to get away with things that other pure technicians like JMM can't.

Very basic example: Floyd doesn't ALWAYS hold his hands up; his left his sometimes low. JMM usually has very good positions with his hand (up, in defense, but also in position to throw)

 

JMM does everything technical and by the book. If you watch him throw a punch it is as perfect and fundamental as you are going to get. I disagree, when JMM is under fire he still sticks to his fundamentals and never gets wild. Floyd is the better fighter but JMM is far more technical and fundamental in his style. Floyd himself even likes watching JMM and Raf both fight. He said this in one of his many interviews when he was asked what current fighters he likes to watch. JMM was the first name to come out of his mouth. Floyd pulls his head straight back he keeps his chin high a lot of stuff that would get you knocked the hell out if you are not him.

 

JMM outboxed Pacman in two fights.
