    Wilfred Bentiez was great and a very underrated fighter, I see Floyd as an even better version of him.
    Not a bad comparison with Benitez. Before one argues the skill equation you cant help but look at the glaring advantage Floyd will likely have in the defensive department.

              Ok if we going by skills and not greatnesss how is Ali the most skilled fighter in all times?

              And, if I am following you correctly your rankings for most skilled fighters of all time read like this.

              1. Ali
              2. Floyd
              3. Benitez

              Right?

                Hitting and not getting hit would be a decent premise.

                  Right?
                  Ali is the greatest based on prime ability. Mayweather is 2nd here.

                  Mayweathers the most skilled of all time.

                    No,

                    the decent premise is....

                    Skill is something you learn not born with. Talent is something you're born with. God Giving talent

                      That's the science, not a measure of skill.

                      Now how does someone measure a boxer's skill?
