Floyd is the most skilled fighter of all time.

[jrosales13]

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

Mayweathers the most skilled of all time.

How so? Based on prime abilites, how is Ali the most skillful fighter of all time?

Please explain

No,

the decent premise is....

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

So youre saying one is blessed with the god giving ability to not get hit in a boxing ring without needing to develop a skill to do so. Well thats not true.

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?

Idk bruh, Roy Jones should b up there with Ali, its really close, cause i think Roy could beat any1 at any era in his prime of course. Ive never seen any1 with the combination of hand speed an power Roy had, plus he had great foot work an perfect balance with crazy reflexes.

[Tamis!]

Cmon man...

Any idiot can hit someone, god given talent or developed.

With skill, which is learnt through the course of time, is an enhanced tool of a boxer, hence the science behind it.

[Mr Punch.]

People need to show him more respect on here. There aint nooone who stands a chance of beating him. 41 have tried, 41 have failed. Manny Pacquiaos a great fighter but hes lost so I dont see how anyone can rate him over Floyd.

Lets be honest hes second only to Ali really.

No that is not what I said.

I said that the right premise of skill is that you learn skill not born with it. That is the definition.

The definition of skill is not hit and not get hit. Like Tamis said that is the science but is not skill

Again skill is something you learn

Mayweathers more skilled than Ali.

Ali though has the greater prime ability due to his greater athletical ability.

[Bhopreign]

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

Now how does someone measure a boxer's skill?

With eyes. I didnt say Floyd is the most skilled ever but if you combine the qualities of what we know of like counter punching, defense, footwork, accuracy of punches and other things, I wouldnt be against it if someone said he is very high on the list.

Is not my rankings list. It is the TS.

Power, reflexes, speed is not a skill. It is good giving talent. Which Roy had. His balance and footwork is a skill.

I have to disagree. Roy Jones is one of the most naturally gifted boxers in history, but He didn't bank on skills to do his job.
He banked on speed and reflexes and beat everybody while He had those tools.
He should of listen to his Dad, but He did it His way.
