Does floyd have the best skill set of all time?

[Pacquiao'd]

No.

He's not the quickest, nor fastest fighter ever (hand speed or foot speed)

He's never been the biggest puncher, nor close to it.

He's not the best pure boxer in history (sweet pea to name one)

He is one of the most cerebral boxers ever though.

what does the bold have to do with having the best skill? judah has some of the quickest hands and tons of power and where is he?

floyd isnt the best pure boxer? hes the most accurate and takes the least punishment. that counts for something

your post is fail

roy jones jr lol yea i agree with that... he was good but pure athleticism all the way.. but roy was still the man and to me faster than floyd. but on a technical aspect floyd is better and if they where the same size floyd would beat his ass!

[Doctor_Tenma]

He's up there; way up there.

[RimmyDelicious]

He's one of the very best to ever live and his skills and talent really are second to none, JMO.

[jrosales13]

No

RJJ has a better skill set as well as better athletic ability. P4P hes a better fighter than PBF.

RJJ pre Ruiz beats anyone from 160-175 past or present.

Mayweather would lose to Duran or Hearns.

Is different, that is what I am saying is hard to judge. How do you judge this.

Roy was more of a freak of nature... Catlike reflexes just an unbelievable fighter.

But, Floyd is more technically more fundamentally sound fighter.

Both had/has tremendous skills. To say any fighter ever is the best in just ******ed.

Especially when there is rarely any footage of the really old school fighters.

agree with that

He's the best fighter compubox has tracked in terms of avoiding punches and landing his own. He has the highest percentage of anyone that compubox has tracked, So that tells you something about his skills compared to other fighters.

If he isnt the most skilled ever. He is definetly top 3

That's right, my mistake on the first part. Where talking boxing skill here since PBF is nowhere near the top of the list in either of the categories I've listed.

And no PBF is not the best pure boxer ever. I'll stand by my first example, Sweet Pea was a better pure boxer. And the fact that he displayed it against the best gives him a better stake at the claim. It's easy to look golden against over matched competition like Arturo (who everyone knew had problems with boxers, Ivan Robinson?) and a blown up lightweight.

I disagree. Same size or not, a prime RJJ would KO PBF. Too much hand speed and power. PBF wouldn't be able to make RJJ fight his fight.

if floyd and sweet pea fought, i see floyd beating pea.

floyd has more levels than a saiyan. floyd would continue to adjust.

floyd has more pop and power than pea, floyd makes you pay for your mistakes, and his defense sets up his offense.

it would be an awesome chess match but floyd wins, imo
