      I can tell you he has faced and beaten 4 HOF'ER in morales, Barrera, jmm, cotto. And he has faced past prime De la Hoya and Mosley. It takes considerable skill to beat those guys even if their best days were behind them.

      He has beaten anyone they throw at him. From current and past belt holders to contenders.

      In reality, there àren't many slick fighters out there. At the highest levels in the sport, these fighters will hit you. Floyd is a rare exception.

        Jmm is not slick by the way. The man gets hit a lot and is often hurt and sometimes knocked down. His strength though is his heart and ability to adjust within a fight. And of course his power and counterpunching skills.

            'Slick' is a poorly defined attribute. For most people it just seems to be a black American fighter who boxes from the outside. Presumably Rigo is slick as well. What about Brook, or Frampton. Are they slick?

                  If he wants to be slick, he can be, Bradley is way better than what he did on the Provodnikov fight or even on the Pac rematch just sadly there's something problem with his decisions sometimes. He wants to prove himself so hard that sometimes he tends to choose dummy strategies agains dangerous opponents.
