Is Floyd Mayweather Jr The Most Skilled Fighter Of All Time?

[Cash Cow]

Hell No, The reason he looks good because hes fighting average fighters. He even looks way better because of opponents being smaller and past there prime.
Have Flyod fight Pac and you will see a average figther gets knock out in early rounds. Hince Flyod is requesting his own paid OST to even the playing field.

wait....Mayweather is an avg fighter?

Mayweather said to be naturally talented most skilled fighter of are generation always want things in his favor.

1. Marquez a LW move up 2 weight classes floyd cheated 2lbs

2. Wanted to face pac at 154lbs in early negotiations

3. Mosley has a history of losing to slick/defensive fighters had only his power going for him was nullified, force to use grant glove. Note mosley uses reyes and these gloves are better. And i beat they where fighting with 10oz instead of 8oz gloves that night.

that qestion is mistakeable. but it would define skil as fighters who really have an understanding of how boxing works. fighters with the intelligence and the natural ability to not only box but control distance, counter, move around efficiently etc. the type of fighters that not only kno what they are gonna do, but also grasp what their opponent is gonna do and is able to keep them from doin it.

the list of most skilled fighters is arguable as well. u have guys like pep, robinson, leonard and even some older guys ive just become aware of. but floyd is def gong to be mentioned with those fighters when his time is up. his skill is the real deal. say what u want about him, but the guy is at home in a ring.

Where would you rank Ricardo Lopez?

2 weight classes?..You mean 7lbs?

pac moved up 12 lbs to fight Oscar....

Duran Moved up 2 weight classed to fight Leonard...your point is moot

Pac wanted to fight Cotto @ a catchweight, he wanted to fight Shane @ 140....

and what do you mean YOU BET THEY WERE WEARING 10oz gloves.....isnt the WW limit 10oz?

Do you watch boxing or do you just skim through it?

great fighter!!

dude I aint gon lie, the dude's skill is up there with the rest of the GOATs. the thing that seperates him above the rest is the insane timing. he is in a different category of good, trust me. Im filipino and pac is my pride.

OFF THE TOPIC

BUT no1 in the history of boxing can bring excitement like pac. Mike Tyson, RJJ were good but most of their fights they were expected to win. Pac's fights have so much uncertainties because of his size. When you see him kill legends in a spectacular way, the excitement is in a different level.

skill is something that can't really be defined in boxing. The fundamentals are not that difficult. the ability to tie in your strengths to be as effective as possible to your oponent is the skill itself.

Skill to me is being able to out smart the other fighter consistently throughout a fight. The sport of boxing is about HITTING & NOT getting HIT....who does that better than Mayweather? Accuracy is a skill as well.... There are numerous fighters who are physically gifted, but not a lot who are mentally gifted.

How does one define skill in a chess game? I respect fighters who slug it out and brawl, but I respect guys who are skilled enough to beat up the other guy while the other guy is unable to beat them up...

it is 8oz but in navada it is 10 but if both fighters agrees to fight at 8oz then it possible. up to 147lbs 8oz 154lbs above is 10oz. Pac vs dela hoya, cotto, clottey where using 8oz gloves
