Peter Buckley was a good pure boxer, particularly when he was going for the win.

He was very rarely caught flush and even !more rarely hurt, Buckley had a fantastic defense and knew what an opponent was going to do next. He had an awful win/loss ratio but he could box alright.

I always thought Wayne McCullough looked very natural.
Prince was also very natural.

Thank you and I'd forgotten to include Paulie Mallignagi on the list. For a light hitting boxer to fight at the top level, get some good wins and cause problems for fantastic fighters shows what an excellent boxer Paulie was.

I always enjoy watching Yuki Nonaka, a boxer style. Cuenca? Miguel Vazquez?
