Who would be the best ever IF

[Mersey]

So basically, who's the most skilled boxer?

How can floyd and Paulie be faster if everyone has the same speed?

Because they rotate their body less.
When I box, I too can choose to focus on either power (rotating my body) and speed.
When I focus on speed, I'll be faster than when I focus on power, even though my physical ability stays the same.

if everyone weighed the same amount what weight divisions would there be in boxing?

Read the beginning post. I wrote almost the exact same sentance.
But the problem is many people will see reflexes as skill. That's why I described it the way I did.

Yes I probably didn't describe it well enough in the thread. Maybe it would be more correct if I said: "assume everyone has the same natural ability"
What they do with their ability can still differ though.

If you have 2 fighters with the same stamina for example. The one who goes ape**** from the start will obviously gass out while the other one will still be fresh.

There are knockoutpunchers who get their power from technique (McClellan) and fighters who get it from physical ability (Foreman)
You can see that by how McClellan puts his body in punches. Foreman is more of an arm puncher.
