Body punching-He's not great yet, but Abner Mares might already be the guy. Footwork-Ivan Calderon Defense-Iron Boy or Floyd
Uppercuts-Manny
Ring generalship-Calderon or JMM or Floyd or Sergio or Wonjonkam (you can't go wrong)
Offense-Manny
In fighting-Man I am coming up with a blank here on great inside guys right now. Tim Bradley doesn't seem right, but he's all I got
Adapting-JMM by a fair bit.
Surviving when rocked-Kind of a mixed blessing how about Daisuke Naito? Landing sneaky shots-Sneaky you mean cheating probably still a faded BHOP
Walking through fire-Alfredo Angulo. It is all he can do.
Counter punching- JMM with Lucian Bute coming on fast. Landing combos-Manny
Jabbing-Wlad
The Jack Loew award for doubling up the jab-Wlad
Showboating-Darchynian is pretty good
Wearing down opponents-Wlad by a mile.
Fighting off the backfoot-Flod or JMM or Calderon or Sergio - Cutting off the ring-Another headscratcher. Adamek maybe?
Have I missed out any categories ?
Nice list. I am surprised I don't have Andre Ward listed for anything.
