Pacquiao is my favorite fighter but if were talking skill:

1. Mayweather
2. Donaire
3. Hopkins
4. Pacquiao
5. Marquez/Khan

Now if we were talking Heart:

1. Gatti
2. Pacquiao
3. Froch
4. Morales
5. Marquez

...really Pacquiao is more skilled than JMM? in what universe ?

I like Pacquiao as much as anyone else ..and he should be considered but I wouldn't put him in my top5

mayweather hands down is the most skillful fighter of the past 50 years. no one has a complete range of skills like him. now im not sayin he is perfect at everything he does in the ring but i believe he is the most all round SKILLFUL boxer there probably has been and probably ever will be.
in saying that i wouldnt give him the most corageous fighter i think a lot of you will agree that could go to maybe ward or gatti ????
to create a list of the top 5 is hard because a lot of people are one eyed supporters and look for different styles.
mosley in his prime , roy jones in his prime even oscar in his prime was technically sound .

in the past 50 years?


you do realize guys like Leonard , Roy Jones , JCC ,Duran, Hearns , Hagler, Arguello were only a couple of decades ago right? even ALI ...

[JOM'S]

you cant deny the fighters who have shown us what they can do and prove their skills, my list consist of pacquiao, mayweather, hopkins, marquez, Barera/Morales

IMHO knowing how to use what you have, speed, power, timing, chin etc. and getting the W is skill ...

he's prolly talking about pure text book skills.... and based on the ts's posts it seems that only roy and leonard should be considered...thats without the resume....JCC seriously?...

are you ******? no wonder you have red and just started at bscene.

speed + power =//= skill

speed and power DOES NOT EQUAL skill

la velocidad y la energía no igualan habilidad

la vitesse et la puissance n'égalent pas la compétence

Do you understand? Pacquiao doesn't have much skill. Hence he cannot be included unless you really don't know shyt about boxing.

Pacquiao is very skilled that's why he is the number pound for pound Boxer in the World.

Don't waste your time on Brick bruh. The guy says the looniest things sometimes. One of them was when he said "I don't support **** fights" then goes on to say "Mosley has a legitimate chance of beating Pac so it's not a **** fight". Sometimes some of the stuff he says is unbearable. Almost as bad as Hugh Grant's "Ronald Wright exposed Mosley, not Winky".
