Is Roy Jones Jr. the most skilled boxer ever?

[DominiBox]

I'm not talking about the best boxer ever. I'm talking about skills. You watch this dude, and all you see is a guy who was born to be a boxer. Power, stamina, speed, ring generalship....he made everything look so easy.

What you guys think about it? Am i missing someone?

I'd say adrien broner is far more skilled. More versatile than roy but roy was faster. I mean there's a reason we all feel Broners the only one who could beat floyd. The skills he has is overshadowed by his persona

[SplitSecond]

he's a physical specimen, his speed, strenght, power were all top level, one of the fastest fighters ever, one of the hardest hitters ever(im sure some people will come to disagree, but imo, big puncher), and incredibly strong

but i think what made roy jones more than anything, was his footwork/footspeed
he gets to angles very fast, and can punch off'em with insane power

in terms of skills, the fighter with the most complete package, off the head, mayweather or leonard?

[violaandme]

the most athletic yes but he was limited in skills because of his great athleticism and natural power he did not need to develop his skills
But then it all depends on your definition of skilled maybe by your definition he was but I look more toward a fighter with limited power and thus developed his skillset at least by my definition of skill I speak of Pernell Whitaker then again I am incredibly biased toward sweet pea so take what I say with a grain of salt

I'm going with Leonard. He got the killer instinct that you don't see in Mayweather.

I totally respect your opinion. I made this thread to share some thoughts.

I think Broner is a very skilled athlete, but IMHO, he lacks of good opposition in his resume.

He is one of the most gifted athletes to ever lace up boxing gloves, but in my opinion it was his fathers unbelievably harsh and cruel training methods that made him the fighter he was.

The best I have ever seen live, and i meet him in Vegas and he was the coolest dude ever, we talked for a min then he gave me a bro hug when he had to go, the man felt like he was made of steel. (No ****) lol

[Larry the boss]

no,not at all...if he was he'd still be kicking ass today,he was athletic an depended on speed and reflex's..he lacked the fundamentals and that cost him int he long rin

[-PBP-]

Most gifted fighter ever and probably beats most head to head.

His skills don't get enough credit, but he's not the most skilled.
