    Who epitomizes the phrase "skill and will"?

    Who do you think really epitomizes cough*patent pending*cough the phrase "Skill and the Will".

    Personally I would say Aaron Pryor. He could fight, was fast, could box if need be and was as hungry a fighter as you will ever find. Sugar Ray once stated he didn't want to fight Aaron because there was to much risk in fighting someone that hungry with something to prove. Who do you have in mind?

    Nice call on Aaron.

    For my money he is one of the greats of all time. I dont see many guys at 135/140 matching up with him well. His skill level was out of this world.

    Duran
    Chavez
    Ray Robinson
    Jofre

    ...just a few names of many.

            Sugar Shane Mosley, it's too bad about his close loss to Cotto. Prime Shane Mosley would have easily beat Cotto and probably win by KO/TKO.
