I'm by no means a knowledgeable boxing fan but given the level of striking in MMA you tend to notice when someone is much better at it than the average MMA fighter. It's one thing to be a good brawler or striker known for their hands but technical boxing a thing to behind.
01.) Anderson Silva
02.) Dominick Cruz
03.) Nick Diaz
04.) Alistair Overeem
05.) Eddie Alvarez
06.) Frankie Edgar
07.) Joanna Jedrzejczyk
08.) Junior Dos Santos
09.) Nate Diaz
10.) Jorge Masvidal
My list is based current (active) fighters of my generation as a fan who I enjoyed watching the most in terms of utilizing their boxing while trying to factor in the difference in weight classes.
This list would look much different if it included past fighters and non-UFC talent but for this specific thread I'm referring to right now in the current day UFC as well as their entire career (assuming they're still active in the UFC).
I know some of you will rip my list to shreds and that's perfectly fine, feel free to share your own as well.
