    Name 'em.

    I'll start with an obvious one, Holyfield.

    The ones who always instantly jump out to me for being the most rhythmatic are:

    Evander Holyfield
    Ruben Olivares
    Santos Laciar

    There's a bunch I can think of who are almost rhythmless, but I don't think they count as the most rhythmic fighters ever, despite having great senses of rhythm.

    Napoles is the epitome of a rhythm fighter IMO.

    How about Chavez? His movements were more subtle, but I think he qualifies.

    Alfredo Escalera - El Salsero

    Joking aside, he did actually fight with an interesting kind of rhythm.

    Navarette fights with a strange kind of rhythm.
