I was saving that can of worms and you had to go ahead and open it...oh well

Bill Miller loved Ezzard Charles, always spoke highly of hm.

Look in to Lester Felton too. Bill said that Lester could beat anyone in the gym yet fell apart when he stepped in with the top guys.

Pernell Whitaker was awesome in my eyes.

[just the facts]

IMO it's Pernell Whitaker

[BKM-2010]

Ricardo Lopez could be the one.

Other than Sugar Ray Robinson?

Ruined it for me.

[Firefist]

Ricardo Lopez could be the one.

For me this. He's as textbook and technically sound as you can get. You can argue about his competition but skill-wise it's all there.

Maybe the slickest fighter ever.. But, RJJ was the most skillful though oddly didn't have a great left jab..

Mandatory mentions for Eder Jofre and Jose Napoles.

[C.Y.]

Off top, Mike McCallum, Ricardo Lopez, Floyd Mayweather, James Toney, Pernell Whitaker, quite a few others who are truly skilled
