Better skilled fighter?

[CumulousClouds]

Out of these fighters whose skills are above the other? Who do you think ranks higher as far as skills go? List from more skilled

And if they went h2h whose skills would trouble who the most?

Sugar ray leonard
James toney
Floyd mayweather jr
Pernell Whitaker
Bernard Hopkins
Roy jones jr

[Szef]

Guillermo Rigondeaux

[Jam Jars]

Roy Jones shouldn't be anywhere near this list, he had very little skill, boat load of natural athletic ability but no skills.

[-PBP-]

Tie between Whitaker and Floyd.

[CumulousClouds]

Guillermo Rigondeaux

I guess I coulda thrown him in there too. He definitely has skills.

What about That guy in your sig? Look at em almost taking a trip to snap city dodging those punches.

[SlySlickSmooth]

I don't think this question can be answered, although I'd say Toney could of probably beaten Hopkins..

If I had to pick three if they all fought H2H I'd say SRL, Floyd, and Toney are among the top 3 if all these men duked it out. If only Toney was as dedicated as Floyd..

Floyd Mayweather

I'm sorry but this is pure ignorance. I don't care how athletic you are you don't get to RJJ's level without a lot of skills. Just because he didn't box conventionally it doesn't mean he didn't have skills. He was an excellent ring general (and you can tell he knows an awful lot about boxing from his commentary) and did tons of subtle things. You cannot get that far on athleticism a lone. There are tons of super athletic fighters who get beat by the Brandon Rios' of the world.

Mayweather
Toney/Hopkins - can't decide, Toney is obviously the more natural fighter but in terms of skills it's difficult. Probably Toney edges it
SRL
Whitaker
RJJ

The last two had extremely good reflexes and Whitaker benefitted from being a southpaw obviously, but they were both extremely skilled in any case.

Now this ordering is not the order of their greatness, that would be more like this:

SRL
Mayweather/Whitaker
RJJ/Hopkins
Toney

ah **** it I actually can't order them so forget it. Toney is last is all I can say for definite which goes to show how great these fighters were.

So headmovement,timing,his left hook and his straight rt hand
And his footwork arent skills?

Most talented/gifted fighter ever.

His skills arent the best in all areas but he is the best in some categories.but specific ones , he is top dawg.
And the skills he did have. Were far beyond what
The same top guys who have great skills had.
In roys categories i stated.

Roys style itself is a pioneered skill.
