Henry Armstrong would be my top choice. The best forward fighter in boxing history.

Dempsey had the best of the heavyweights.

Marciano. His back must have been made of rubber. He contorted himself @ all angles, got his head down to knee level, had random (non-patterned) movements and motions, and was usually still in position to throw bombs with his left or right. Contrast this with Frazier's predictable, less dramatic, yet effective style and the difference is significant. IMO, the way Marciano moved is one of the most underappreciated techniques in boxing.

I was thinking of that myself. Marciano didn't have the orthodox bob and weave, but he did a hell of a lot of ducking under punches and countering afterwards.
