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

[brick wall]

for me boxing skills is something a fighter gained through training and experience as a fighter. things like good punch combinations, counterpunching, head and body movements, good timing, etc.
speed, power, good reflexes, good chin...those are natural abilities imo. fighters who are gifted with those qualities already have them even before they started fighting.
with floyd, he's more of a gifted fighter than skilled. i'm not saying he's not skilled but his natural abilities (speed and good reflexes) has brought him more success. saying that, i don't consider him the most skilled.

Skills are relative.

It could be debated that he is one of the most skilled of all time. But being highly skilled does not equate to being a great, or good boxer. I just wanted to throw that out there.

Floyd is probably the most chicken skilld fighter of all time. Is he skilled = yes...very much
Is he chicken = yes

Like the ragged man said "i could be undefeated if i just fought a girl".

Any above average boxer will be look invincible if they select and fight bums and journey man. Floyd can at least prove that by defeating a smaller man pacquiao. But i don't think he has the balls to do it.

The only people that come close to Floyd as far as skill goes are young Oscar, Sweet P, & Chavez (skills were very underrated) in my opinion.

wait....Mayweather is an avg fighter?

Thats not what I say, you speak English? Im saying Flyod fights average fighters that why it makes Floyd look good, and even really good by fighting smaller guys and past prime guys.
Flyod Mayweather is above average fighter, if hes most skilled then he wont be requesting to have his own paid OST to even playing field against Pac.
BTW Flyod Mayweather rhymes betters as the queen of cherry picking and ducking than the Most skilled Fighter of all time. Pathetic title for him if you ask me.

Totally agree..Now we know why you're Floyd's #1 fan..

[Bengali Boxer]

in terms of skill yeah one of the best of all time and without doubt the best of this era as the man can do everything he could probably go for the ko and use more combinations a bit more but that's by choice instead of a lack of ability he needs to beat pacquiao and win the lineal wbc middleweight to be the greatest of our generation

No. He's one of the most skilled ever..
