Resume aside, is Floyd the most ATG SKILLED boxer?

[Kagami Taiga]

hes definitely up there. ppl who say he doesnt have the resume, plz. u dudes judge him on who he hasnt fought as opposed to who he has fought. he's beaten some good fighters and hes usually won one sidedly. gotta love when ppl say he doesnt have a resume when hes fought a number of world class boxers without losing many rounds and the one fight ppl can actually say he came close to losing he avenged immediately. if that doesnt show his skill level, i dunno what does.

if ppl wanna hate him for not fighting this fighter or that fighter then fine. but dont pick apart his resume and act like what he's done isnt quite remarkable, because it really is. only one who's been more remarkable as of late is manny.

He is a very skilled, nearly complete fighter, but he is not the most skilled fighter ever. I'm tempted to say not even close, but I have to respect Floyd's all around game more than that.

Let's just say he's definitely not the most skilled fighter ever.

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

He is in my opinion. Period.

If you dont like that I said it I really dont care. Hes the most skilled and complete fighter ever. Heck even Ali's daughter said Floyd was better than her father.

Yeah maybe 'cuz she wants to suck it? He is definitely Top 10. I'd rate him higher, but frankly, I don't have the background to do so.

[NChristo]

Imo no, he's not.

[jrosales13]

No. The most well-rounded fighter, of all time, SKILL-Wise, has to be Ray Leonard IMO.

The best fighter of all time is Muhammad Ali though, IMO. Robinson is good but he never fought no Joe Frazier, or George Foreman.

[jrosales13]

What about defense wise? I might agree with Leonard on agressiveness but in terms of defence Mayweather has to be up there.

Defense wise I would put Pep, Whitaker, Locche, and Benitez ahead of him.

Skill wise I would say he is on par with Finito.

So most skilled all time? IMO just no.

[Willy Wanker]

floyd is maybe top 5 or 10.

he's too damn good, but he should have never retired. u can't just set resume aside.

he could have beat mosley, cotto, and margarito in 2008 and that would supported his claim of being the most skilled ever.

but without resume, i say top 5.

[jrosales13]

If you dont like that I said it I really dont care. Hes the most skilled and complete fighter ever. Heck even Ali's daughter said Floyd was better than her father.

But, nobody is calling Ali the most skilled fighter ever. And, there have plenty of fighters more skilled than Ali.

[Mr. Fantastic]

He is skilled but to me to really show your skills to be the best ever, you have to of beaten a couple great fighters. Mayweather's resume isn't all that. Just my 2c.
