Who do you think is the best fighter ever in terms of overall skills? Who is the most complete fighter?
Most skilled fighter ever.

From what i have seen Ezzard Charles. He could do everything. Brawl, punch, box, move, counter. He had great defence and offence and transitioned well between the two. He fought at all ranges.
Very much a complete fighter in terms of skills.
The men above him in the P4P ATG lists are mostly athletic freaks (great skillsets as well dont get me wrong) Charles was a very good athlete but what set him apart for me was his pure boxing knowledge and ring IQ -

Ariel Hernandez - he was like a MW Rigondeaux with a great inside game.
Flawless footwork who moved elegantly like a ballerina, lightning fast reflexes, laser like accuracy with the touch of death in either hand. Absolutely unstoppable during the late 80s to mid 90s.
He just processed everything so quick you made any mistake you paid. Its a shame there's such limited footage considering his credentials.
