Exactly. Lennox Lewis has more skills than Hasim Rahman. Therefore, he is the more skilled fighter. However, Hasim Rahman was still able to use his lesser amount of skills to knock Lennox out. As a result, the fighter with less skills won the fight.

That doesn't make Rahman the more skilled fighter out of the two. He just used what he had in his arsenal better during that particular round.

Lennox proved he is more skilled by beating the better fighters

exactly.one dimensional fighters win all the time that does not make them very skilled.
rios has not lost yet so is he one of the most skilled boxers?

Skills = tools .. I could be the best carpenter in the world but if show up to a job lacking a certain tool I need to get the job done I'm phucked . Now if one of my workers happens to have that tool and he is able to get it done. Does that make him better than me ?

^^^^ I posted that earlier I'm with you 100% on that one.

What tool doesnt Rigo have?

I think you're proving my point. You can have all the tools you want but if a guy with less tools then you builds a better house, then are you a better builder/carpenter?

[Russian Crushin]

you said a cutie means nothing if you don't win thats why i pointed out that rigondeaux was undeafeted and not donaire because of your comment

Again i said its Who you beat. The best fighters are determined on how many times they didnt lose

Name any 1 dimensional fighter who was also 1 of the best in the world

well donaire has lost so i don't understand what that means and donaire only has about 3 fights tha mean anything even tho he has about 3 times as many fights as rigondeaux

Lennox proved he is more skilled by beating the better fighters

But you said this:

Yes you are, he is just more technically cute. The more skilled fighter is the one that wins the fight[

Rahman, the lesser skilled fighter, the lesser technically sound fighter and who defeated the lesser fighters defeated Lennox Lewis.

So the more skilled fighter isn't the one that wins the fight all the time.

margarito is one dimensional

I do like slick fighters, but it doesnt automatically make them more "skilled". It makes then more technical and slick. Nor does it win you fights because you are have a "slick boxing style"

You prove skill by who you beat

Marg's resume clearly makes him more skilled then Linares for example or Rigo at this point yet he's a brawler

Rigo is more technical but not more skilled. Rigo might lose to a well timed right hook? Thats not part of skill? Timing, power and accuracy

I see, your problem is that you don't understand the definition of the word "skill." There is no way in bloody hell anyone can reasonably say Margarito is a more skilled fighter than Guillermo Rigondeaux. No way. A guy like Margarito has had success in great part due to his granite chin. In theory, a guy that punches hard and can walk through countless punches will win every fight, or nearly every fight. That doesn't make him any more skilled than your average Neanderthal. Rigondeaux is in another universe of skill compared to Margarito. My goodness....
