If you woke up today with ANY fighters skills WHO WOULD IT BE?

I'd go with Mayweather Jr. he has by far the most complete skill set.

Is punching power not a required skill set when determining the most skilled fighter of all time?

Mix of Leonard and Floyd

It helps to have power no doubt but not essential when you have the defence and hit percentage of Mayeather. He has power by accumulation of punches, hence the 65% knockout ratio....if we're mixing and matching then hell, I'd say Mayweather with Mike Tyson power.

Smart thinking marquez has with floyds defence and mike tysons power!!!!!

Me and some of my buddies over the weekend were discussing which style would be the best style to have in boxing. This brought us to the question of..."If any of you woke up tomorrow and had any boxers skills, who's skills would you want to have"

I know many of us like different fighters for different reasons...so my question is...who would you want to fight like and why?

Iron Mike....no doubt.....and since im not phuked in the head I would be come the GOAT!

I would want mayweather's skills... I would like to have the vocabulary of a 1st grader his arrogance and his loud mouth

Tye Fields.

......he's no Calzaghe.... 70% KO ratio, thats pure power

seriously though I'm goina actually goina go with Calzaghe (I want to pick someone from my generation) and in a way its for similar reasons people pick Floydie. Fast, accurate, great defense, solid chin and as determined and hard working as they come. However, if we also bring fighting styles into the equation (another thread?) then its Pacquiao all the way!
