    of course i think that he did well against jack, you don't go to vegas and get a split decision against the home fighter if you are outclassed. george was easier to hit because he was forcing the fight more than he would normally. and badou jack is going to prove to be a class operator moving forward.

    Selby would be my answer but BJS isn't far behind in having good fundamentals.

    Not sure why people are saying Degale, I remember him trying to employ a shoulder roll defence and claiming he had a "slick Mayweather style" only to get right hands bounced off his dome at will by a slew of opponents.

    Selby followed by Degale. Someone mentioned Groves' straight shots which I have to agree with. I love that jab when he's using it right.

    Frampton for me. Always impressed with how he manages to win the jab exchange for a small guy. Great judge of distance and puts his punches together well.

    Thought he did well in patches but got hit far too much.
