    I would also put Nonito Donaire, FMM, S.O.G. & Jorge Linares (with obvious exception of the chin) on the list.

    I think I'd rate them like this:

    Bernard Hopkins - Easily the best technician in the sport.

    Juan Manuel Marquez - Amazing balance, movement and combination punching

    Floyd Mayweather Jr - Sound fundamentals, defense & balance, rarely out of position

    Wladimir Klitschko - Textbook fundamentals, balance/movement great for big man. Never out of position.

    Miguel Cotto - Textbook fundamentals, never out of position, great combo's & counters.

    Manny Pacquaio - Great balance, movement, combination punching, defense

    Andre Ward - Good technical skills, occasionally out of position.

    Hopkins/Mayweather/Marquez all brilliant in their own ways and there's not much that seperates them when it comes to their technical skills. Ward is a little behind but will catch up some day. The others don't come close.

    He can do all the above and switch up on the fly depending on what his opponent does.

    Why is black crying criminal Flopkins on the list? If that black criminal is on the list then Calzaghe should be ranked no. 1 easily :lol:

    Ward has the best ring IQ on this list.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr.

    "Floyd's style can get really really complicated. He has to be, technically, the best boxer on the planet."

    Juan Manuel Marquez
