Who are the current top five most versatile Boxers in Boxing?

[Carpe Diem]

Mine are:

1. Floyd Mayweather Jr
2. Nonito Donaire
3. Andre Ward
4. Bernard Hopkins
5. Timothy Bradley

[PhooLzRUs]

I'd put marquez over cotto.

[IronDanHamza]

What about Moreno?

Cotto wouldn't be anywhere in my list personally. Not really that versatile.

Mine are:

1. Floyd Mayweather Jr
2. Nonito Donaire
3. Andre Ward
4. Bernard Hopkins
5. Miguel Cotto

I haven't seen Donaire fight on the inside, so I can't add him yet. His abilities may possibly be good there, but I'd like to know first. Also, to me, Bradley > Miguel Cotto.

Other than that, I like the list.

[Trapped Bird]

American is a nickname for versatile.

I'd put marquez over cotto.

Yeah. As good as Cotto is fundamentally, he's never been able to fully utilized his much superior technical skills against aggressive Boxer-punchers.

I should've put current top ten instead of five. I wanted to add JMM, Gary Russell Jr, Guillermo Rigondeaux, and even Yuriorkis Gamboa, ect in my list.

you don't need to display inside fighting to be considered versatile. if you're skillful enough to thwart you opponents attempt to fight inside or if you can beat your opponent from the outside you don't have to use inside fighting. you use inside fighting when your outside game is not effective. or you use inside fighting when your outside game is leaky your opponent was able to get inside. if you don't have those flaws you don't need to use inside fighting...doesn't mean you can't be considered versatile.

Not saying Donaire isn't versatile cause he is. The thing is, in this case, we're talking about Top 5 most versatile fighters, so I'm gonna pick those that have showed me they can fight from all areas, and Donaire hasn't showed me that yet.

well you'll never know really because he hasn't been in a situation where he needed to fight inside but i don't think it's really a requirement...be it top 5 or top ten or whatever. anyway it's your pick so it's all good.
