I'll say it... Guillermo Rigondeaux is probaby the most skilled boxer of all time.

[billeau2]

The Cuban fighters in the amateurs play the game top notch...its why I had picked Telepio Stevenson as the best heavyweight ever. No amateurs is not the same as the pros but the great ones can make the adjustments easily enough. If boxing is about technique these guys have coaches who teach a highly technical and sound form of the game....it shows as most of these guys can at least hang, the best of them are well.....we saw the best of them and it is not necessarily suprising.

[Gudfella]

We already knew he was probably the best Amateur boxer of all time.

With last nights performance I am going to put it out there that Rigondeaux is probably the most skilled boxer to ever step into the ring.

We just saw a 32 year old fighter on the downside of his prime dismantle a top 5 p4p fighter in his prime.

I am not saying he is unbeatable, he still has to prove that against a fighter who can take his punches and is willing to eat them to deliver their own like a Roberto Duran, but skill wise I think it can now be argued that he is without equal.

The closest I can think of is maybe Pernell Whitaker, but Rigo is equally slick, is better at controlling the pace of fights, and is more precise with his punches.

so is saying that rigo is more skilled than Robinson...sweet pea...Jones...Ali nd so fourth? just stop posting

Maybe 1 or 2.

TS is correct. That is all.

[Tim2daresq]

Floyd was fighting bums through out his prime. I mean lets remember what prime Floyd accomplished.

After Castillo...

Sosa
Ndou
Corley
Bruseles
Gatti
Mitchell

That Andre Berto levels of hand picked opponents.

And that's why I don't believe in the Floyd Mayweather myth.

[Underboss]

Sweet Pea?
Floyd?
Ray Robinson?

OP needs to get off the bandwagon ASAP.

[thuggery]

How much red K did you receive for this thread TS? I'm curious.

Modern Day Pernell Whitaker Basically! Yeah he can limit his output Offensive because he knows he is going to limit his opponents output with his Defense

It is next to impossible to look good against that style, his fight with Donaire reminded of the Oscar vs Whitaker to be honest

I don't know about All Time but he is a Phenomenal Boxer

[dibzvincent143]

the door is open for him, i hope he rises up in weight class and dominates ) his skills can do it, even with the size factor.
