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

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Absolutely. Hands down.

No one is better than him. No one.

Absolutely. Hands down.

I'm not sure you can go on saying "absolutely" and "hands down". Floyd has incredible skills, but so have several other fighters over the years. Different skill sets as well, making it very difficult to compare. For instance I would have a fairly tough time separating Pernell's, Ali's and Floyd's skill sets.

Absolutely. Hands down.

Come on Burner, no need to be biased..

Absolutely not

He is very talented and skilled no doubt but to say he is the best is a huge reach. I'm just curious as to what fight/fights he has been in to make people believe that he is the most skilled?

Mosley....well Winky and Vernon looked just as skilled against Shane as Floyd did
Hatton & DLH......Pacquiao dominated both of those guy in a more impressive fashion. Hell you can even make the argument Pac figured out Hatton quicker as Pac was able to time and catch him early, whereas Floyd took about 7-8 rounds to land that check hook (even though steward or Letterman kept asking why he wasn't using a hook to catch ricky coming in reckless)
Corrales-dude is a good fighter but nothing better than a B class opponent and no one in there right mind would have him in the top 100 greatest fighters of all time

My thing is this; While Floyd has faced good opponents (I'm not gonna try and discredit his opponents....rather, I'm just keeping it real) Guys like Ali, Robinson, Duran and others dominated other ATG opponents. That may not be Floyd fault but at the same time it is/was much harder for those greats to look skilled and talent against the high level of opposition they faced. Just my two cents anyways...but I can't see how you can call him the most skilled when any A class fighter could look as skilled and dominate against guys like Corrales, Castillo, Hatton and others.

I know my reply will cause certain poster's ******* to swell up..but **** it, that's how I see things.

Come on Burner, no need to be biased..

Man.

It has nothing to do with bias.

Floyd is the best fighter ever. The most skilled I have ever seen. Period.

Hands down.

"come on burner, no need to be biased"

Like I dont understand this statement. Why is it so insane for Floyd to be the most skilled fighter ever?

Dont let NSB get to your head. Dont let your opinions of him get formed from the bull**** you read from these posters.

Do what i did. Get his career set. Turn off the volume.

Watch him fight. Watch some more then post your findings.

If you feel that way cool...its very subjective....but I just don't see it. To each his own I guess.
