Name a few very skilled boxers with very good technique.
Odlh, hopkins,tony, PBF, winky wiright, SRR
Virgil Hill and Montell Griffin. Griffin particualry was a trickly lil bastard to fight. Just ask James Toney and to an extent Roy Jones in their first fight.
If your going on pure skill. I would say Mark Breland and Donald Curry were two of the most skilled fighters of recent time. Breland just didn’t have a chin, while Curry lacked discipline.
Muhammad Ali, Roy Jones Jr., Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, James Toney…
Floyd Mayweather, Bernard Hopkins, Oscar De La Hoya, Winky Wright, Pernell Whitaker, Thomas Hearns, Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Riddick Bowe, Evander Holyfield.
Going back though the era’s; Charley Burley, Willie Pep, Benny Leonard, Young Griffo was meant to be a phenomenon, Maxie Rosenbloom, Ezzard Charles, Gene Tunney, Eder Jofre and of course Ray Robinson…
Jeff Lacy, Frank Bruno, Ricky Hatton, Diego Corrales ;D ;D
Herol " the bomber " Graham

Here’s a few
Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, James Toney, MAB, Sweet Pea…
At least we can rely on you for some serious analysis.
Montell Griffin and Virgil Hill are not my idea of all time greats 
That came from a person who said Mayorga would KO DLH, don’t take him too serious 
don’t forget Meldric Taylor…
From a defensive stand point it has to be Pernell Whitaker even though his offensive attack was light, Winky Wright has to be the most skillful fighter around now even though his offensive attack is also light. He is a big Pernell Whitaker. Bernard Hopkins at his peak was near perfection even though I alway’s hated him.
I would have to disagree, IMO Charley Burley was finest defensive fighter. Although not as elusive as Whitaker, Burley was better than Sweet Pea, for parrying/blocking punches, and had greater ring generalship, thus was more skilled… 
Respect the opinion but disagree. Pernell Whitaker fought offensive maniacs and shut many of them out, after watching the Chavez fight I don’t know how anyone can think he is not the greatest defensive boxer off all time, Burley was a better ring general but when it came to blocking punches and elusiveness Pernell was hand’s down better. Actually that would be a great thread. Britkid you should start a threat with this question and also add a pole, it would be close but I am anxious to read what people have to write on the subject.
Thought you guys wanted choices that weren’t so obvious. Any fukin idiot can say Ali, SRR, SRL, ODH, Tyson etc. But Montel Griffin is very underated. He beat James Toney when he had less than 20 fights under his belt and stole rounds from a PRIME Roy Jones. So yeah, he was very skilled, you are just being snobbish bitches. :-*
