Does floyd have the best skill set of all time?

[Shabba Rank$]

So PBF has the power advantage over SRL? Wow... Call the amberlamps.

When did I say Floyd had the power advantage?

If anything they are the same in the power department.

You just said SRL did not have the power advantage over PBF, so I presumed you were implying that PBF had the power advantage over SRL.

SRL was able to stop Benitez, Duran, and Hearns. I seriously doubt PBF and SRL were equal in the power department. In fact, the very idea of PBF having as much power as SRL is pretty asinine.

He basically has the same KO percentage as Mayweather.

Same power imo.

No, Robinson at ww and Ali had a better skill set in their prime...

Are you talking about P4P power? Or just straight up power?

Floyd has been at 147 for 5 years. The best guys at that weight in that time have been Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Clottey, Paul Williams and more recently Pacman. How many of those names does Floyd have on his resume? Floyd was a great boxer at the lower weights, but his resume at 147 is poor considering the talent in it.

Co-sign! I think floyd is the best boxer out there But of all the top welters right now he's fought 1(mosley),Cotto-4,Mosley and Pac-2 each. If the Pac/May fight never happens there will be serious questions in regards to his legacy, not his skill set.

Please don't spam, And I don't wanna hear **** about pac cause he does not compare.

Pac is better offensively to be honest but defensively, Floyd is up there with the best. I think Calderon has more skills than Mayweather but he is non existent due to his size. Pernell in his prime was pretty close defensively as well.

Floyd is a defensive fighter now and his offense is average at best but he does not really need one based on his counter punching nature. Floyd's reflexes and timing are maybe better than 99% of all boxers out there...he can be beaten just like anyone can be.

Why do people keep saying hes been at WW for 5 years?

He spent 21 months, basically 2 years...retired.

I see this myth everyday on this site.

How is Floyd's offense average?? I see a bunch of newbies who only think offense is throwing a bunch of punches. Taking alot of shots doesnt mean you have the best offense in basketball.

But Floyd did not fight the same guys so this kind of comparison is moot.
