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

[Mr. Chago]

All time?? LOL

He is in the top ten today, perhaps top ten since 2000. Not Top ten in the last thirty years.
boxing history KO1 hero worship

Compubox lets your know he's one of the most skilled in the last 20 years...all time, he's in the top ten or sure.

He's top 5. RJJ is the most skilled fighter of all time.

Compubox means **** that should not really be taken into consideration. Compubox wise Wlad K is arguably the greatest HW of all time. You can't really look at compubox IMO.

Top 2 all time?

Right at this moment in time he's in the top 2. Because most are comparing him with Pacquiao in the skills depatment. Unless I'm missing somebody from the top 10 P4P list.

nope.............he didnt face enough solid competition in the higher weights.......................................wast e of skill .....probably

exactly. he looks like he is but look at his competition

how can he be the best when he struggled with an old oscar and a guy like whittaker made it close in their fight when oscar was in his prime.

judah looked like hte greatest of all time till he faced kostya tszyu

there's a reason floyd cherry picks. part of his great defence
is retiring each time he wins a fights to duck the top contenders
who has he fought in the past 3 years ?

an old oscar
a blown up lightweight
an old mosley who got outboxed by cotto

First of all, Oscar was in way better shape than the one Manny Pacquiao faced. The whole boxing community knows this.

Second, when Floyd fought Oscar for the highest grossing fight in the history of the sport...

1. Oscar owned the WBC belt.

2. Oscar was heavier 154lbs.

3. Oscar was taller.

4. Oscar picked the ring size

5. Oscar picked the gloves, weight and make.

6. Oscar had Freddie Roach in the corner.

With all those advantages Oscar had going, he still couldn't pull it off despite being the agressor in the fight.

The question is which Oscar did Manny face?

And if Floyd beats Manny who also fought common opponents where does that put him in the P4P list?

[Carpe Diem]

He's top 5. RJJ is the most skilled fighter of all time.

I hope you are being sarcastic, but Roy is definitely the most athletic Boxer of all time..

Oh OK right now? Yea OK.... You can say he is the best skilled fighter right now. Or even in the top 2 in the last 30 years maybe it can be argued.

And, the Oscar thing yes Oscar called all the shots. But, Oscar called all the shots against every single opponent. Not just Mayweather. Every single opponent gave Oscar every single advantage.

He's great, but not the greatest of all time. And as far as RJJ goes, I feel his success was due more to his athleticism than his skills - which is why he is absolutely hopeless now. If it had beenskills that set him apart from the rest, he still could possibly have done okay still, like James Toney would have done okay had he been able to stay in shape (James is skilled, believe it). But while RJJ's skills were good, it was really his speed, quickness, coordination, agility etc that made him so incredibly good. He was born with that, and now that it's gone it's gone for good, and he should find something else to do.

I agree, wait more athletic then a prime Ali? I am talking about the 60's version of Ali.

We can argue about it..I didn't watched that many fights of Ali in his prime, but i'll still give Jones the edge, he was super athletic..
