Of course we're not talking about brawlers here but with fighters with the following skills:

Good boxing technique

Good defense

Good ring movement

Ring generalship

Ring strategy

Some that come to mind for me are Ricardo Lopez, Salvador Sanchez, and Gene Tunney. All opinions are appreciated.

  6. Sugar Ray Robinson would have to be the number one on this list for me, he had it all.

    Others that spring to mind avoiding those you have mentioned are

    Willie Pep

    Pernell Whittaker

    Floyd Mayweather Jr

    Roy Jones Jr

    Bernard Hopkins

    Sugar Ray Leonard

  7. HUMBERTO SOTO!!!!!!

  8. Sugar Ray Robinson

    Willie Pep

    Gene Tunney

    Floyd Patterson


  9. Good boxing technique- Marco Barrera

    Good Defense- Winky Wright

    Good ring movement- Sugar Ray Leonard

    Ring Generalship- Chris Byrd

    Ring Strategy- Rocky Marciano. Strategy "Im going in there and I'm gonna hit you over and over until one of us go down." Just for your information brawling can be a strategy also.

    But overall

    Ricardo Lopez my #1 p4p fighter ever.

  14. No one mentioned Jem Belcher who was recognized as the world heavyweight champion 1800-1804. James Figg of Britain invented modern boxing about 1755, and British champs were world champs for a long time. In 1860, British champ Tom Sayer fought American champ John Heenan in an epic battle.  It was said that Jem Belcher made boxing an art, rather than a crude slugfest.
