I think Benny Leonard looks pretty amazing. Tunney certainly ranks as well as Barney Ross.

3 great examples.

Tony Canzoneri, Freddie Welsh, Joe Louis. Some more examples.

Tommy Loughran, Panama Al Brown, Freddie Steele all look pretty incredible.
Too many to say who definitively looked the best.

one of the more dominant fighters i've seen. he looked to be many weight classes apart from his opponents. moved with coordination and fluidity and had tons of speed and power.

gene tunney
joe louis
willie pep


jack johnson looked pretty damn good, too. way ahead of his time with his defensive mannerisms.

difficult to disagree with these names mentioned...

specially canzoneri... the guy's style looked pretty slick...

Joe Louis is my top choice. I love what little I've seen of Joe Gans. You can tell he was special.
