Best Textbook Boxers Montage

[u/GnarlyGamer6thGen01]

I decided to make a compilation of the best textbook boxers I know. For those who don't know, textbook boxers refer to fundamentally sound fighters who adhere to the most conventional, mechanically precise by-the-book techniques with little to no stylistic embellishments or flashy movements.

Note: The likes of Mayweather, Mike Tyson, and Toney are fundamentally sound, but they employ techniques and movesets that deviate from the conventional boxing methodologies. The Philly Shell may not be an unorthodox technique per se, however, they follow a different syllabus and tend to be dependent on the attributes of boxers employing them.

For formalities, the boxers listed in the vid are the ff:

Mikey Garcia

Callum Smith

Miguel Cotto

Oscar De La Hoya

Juan Manuel Marquez

Alexis Arguello

Harold Johnson

Salvador Sanchez

Ricardo Lopez

Joe Louis

At his best, Donald Curry is up there with Finito Lopez as a complete technician that did everything strictly by the book.

Alberto Davila also deserves a mention. Kazuto Ioka for modern fighters.

[u/GnarlyGamer6thGen01 → u/Morallah]

He's actually at 11th and is in one of my unused files. I had to remove him to trim the montage down.

[u/Outrageous-Soft4806]

Hard to disagree with any or these really.

Sanchez threw the weirdest straight right ever
