    sugar ray leonard
    floyd maywather
    pernell whitaker
    james toney
    muhammed ali

    are among the most skilled fighters, people have questions about ali but he was skilled, very skilled for his size and era infact

    ssr is a defo

    i think, maybe well, floyd is probably number 1 due to evolution in the sport and how fighters have developed in the game

        Bull**** post. You can't be an all time great without fighting all time greats and he fights old, small, and unskilled people all the time.

        Seriously, anyone who though a 38 year old inactive Mosley could beat Floyd needed their head checked.

          Floyds been an ATG since he left 130 Pounds.

          Hes arguably the greatest 130 Pounder ever. His career didnt start in 2007.

            LOL, your funny, it says skills not athletically gifted.

            How come nobody brings ups Robinson, was the man not skilled? I mean seriously he was amazing he was a great counter puncher and defensively very sound.

            B-Hop is a very skilled fighter who else can fight below HW and be successful in their forties.

            Toney
            Ali
            SSR
            Pep
            Whitaker
            PBF

            It really is difficult to put him over any of these guys because of what they accomplished with their skills proving themselves.

              Go and learn some boxing history, at 130 Mayweather was immense, to me he is top 5 ATG skill wise, with Whitaker, SSR, Jones, toney.

                i said skill wise not legacy, mate

                floyds up there with the very best in skill, legacy is different and something he doesnt really care about at this moment.

                  Yes but he was very skilled at producing combos and avoiding punches, i would class that as skills not just athletically, but if he wasnt as athletic he wouldnt have been as skilled they go hand in hand with each other IMO.

                    so you think jones was just an incredibly fit person?
                    do you put reflexes in the same catagory as athleticism?
                    what is floyd without cat like reflexes? is that not athleticism which we catagorize as "skill"?
