    In the Top 5

    Duran: Greatest defensive infighter...This natural 135 pounder went 15 rounds with Hagler and lost by 3 rounds. He K.O'd Iran Barkley...and the way he beat SRL 1st fight was jus amazin.

    Mayweather: No need to explain you just ca't hit him clean, even if you had him against the ropes.

    Prime James Toney altough, he wasn't very consistent...Like for example, he'd be that DAMN good and in his next fight he'd be good.

    Pernell Whitaker: Needz no explaing

    B-Hop: Still kickin azz at an old age and has GREAT defense. In his prime he was a BEAST a wicked brawler who STILL couldn't be hit even tough he wasn't as defensive as now.
    damn good list

      he has great defense and very good speed.

      he's also very accurate but he didn't carry his power too well up the divisions though understandable considering to me he's a natural 135 guy.....140 at best.

      handspeed is very good but people overrate his handspeed.

      his defense is one of the best.

      his footwork is good but he has tendency to be stationary at times......though it hardly hurts him because of his defense.

      obviously his technical skills are top notch.

      you said top 5.

      cassius clay , ray robinson , ray leonard , roy jones , james toney. is 5 off the top of my head that i can say is better skilled than floyd.

      that's not including all the 130-147 guys that although are not as skilled as floyd......i think would whoop floyd's ass.

                i think toney is very skilled...... he's just a fat ass. p4p (emphasize pounds) i think he's better skilled than floyd.

                pernell is superior to floyd imho.

                hopkins is ****e. floyds skills >>>>>> hopkins skills

                the thing that makes hopkins great is how good he is at his age. skillswise he's good and smart but he is so god awful boring.......

                  To the bold NO! and Hell No!

                  A great athlete does not count as a great skilled fighter. Leonard was all power, speed, footwork...what about his defense? Did we see a NOT great but a good display of defense against Hearns, Duran Hagler? Nope...

                  Ali and James Toney yes...But I know fighters who aren't GREAT yet are more skilled then Ali. Ali's strong point was HEART

                    physical attributes count as skill.......

                    floyd might be more polished than roy but roy had better physical skills.

                    ali was one of the best skilled fighters of all time. more than just heart or chin.

                    his speed , footwork , upper body movement , punching accuracy was the best i've ever seen!

                      Pink I still can't believe I found out so LATE that yu were Tua. I should have F'ing known! The idolizing of fat people, I simply, ignored Patrick on your avy, the hating of B-Hop, why did it take me so long??
