I knew some people would have this opinion, Marquez is a superior fighter because of the combination of all his attributes, he has superior technique, impeccable timing and accuracy. But could he stand in front of world champions with his hands by his side, avoiding punches, hitting incredible angles, throwing lead left hooks, and shooting straight right hands. To me that is incredible skill, Marquez perfected a fundamental style, and obviously himself has tremendous skill, but for pure skill I would have naz.
Most skilled fighters...

MarK "Too Sharp" Johnson (its a shame people don't care about the smaller division because he dominated that smaller Division for a decade straight and even when he was washed up he was still able to defeat guys like Fernando Montiel....seen some people question if he should be a Hall of Famer earlier this year which was ***in Laughable to me
Also: James Toney, EVANDER HOLYFIELD!!! (Holyfield would out-box Mike Tyson EVEN IN HIS PRIME), Lennox Lewis (when motivated, kind had what Chad Dawson currently have, extremely talented but comes off as too laid back), Sweat Pea of course, Rid**** Bowe which may surprise a lot of people but Bowe when in shape was a MONSTER in that ring, moved so smooth for his size)
Oscar De Lay Hoya! Yes that Oscar was very skilled OVERALL and his defense was VERY UNDERRATED, one of the best a Parrying Punches with his Guard which is why his face still looks the same when he first start boxing lol, also had a excellent jab and used his size well
I could go on and on, but the 90's and the early 2000's had some very SKILLED fighters...currently it is only maybe handful who are truly SKILLED FIGHTERSComment
