    If not Julio Ceaser Chavez then Eric Morales.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Chavez was a brawler or a boxer/puncher at best, he hardly was a tactical fighter, same goes for Morales (who obviously is my favorite fighter), I'm talking about the greatest technical fighter, who used strategy to win his fights rather than outlasting him

    Morales for his height and reach certainly could box but agreed did not use it enough. Then the obvious answer would be Finito Lopez.

    Chavez was a brilliant tactical fighter, especially at 130 and 135.

    if Chavez hadn't possessed the granite chin and Football helmet of a head of his he would have had been stopped by plenty of the men he faced, his chin made up for his lacking technical skill, i'm not saying that he had no skill or boxing ability cause it's obvious that he did, but there are other fighters who were/are leaps and bounds better from a technical standpoint than Chavez, for instance Lopez, Chavez may be the greatest Mexican fighter but IMO he's hardly the greatest technician to come out of Mexico

    The way he blocked and parried punches were beautiful to see. The way he set up his punches was awesome.
