    i love watching marquez and barrera at there craft, i do believe barrera is the best of the 3 but are there any better "textbook" boxers. Barrera goes from a pressure fighter to a great technical boxer is was really impressed me.

    anyone else you think is better? tbh my knowledge of past boxers isnt very great:oops:

    I think a very textbook modern fighter coming up is Mikey Garcia.

    Some new names: Harold Johnson, Ken Buchanan, Joe Louis, Marvin Hagler, Yuri Arbachakov, Donald Curry, Oscar De La Hoya (despite being somewhat rigid and stiff), Julio Cesar Chavez (textbook pressure fighter with excellent versatility also), Alberto Davila, Rafael Marquez

    current wlad is as textbook as it gets works behind a perfectly thrown jab and executes a perfect straight right from time to time. doesn't get more textbook.

    uh, Ricardo Lopez, Juan Manuel Marquez, and Kennedy Mckenny. That's all I can think of right now that does most of their work by the book. Them being text book boxers.
