Most skilled fighter ever.

[SugarRayCurtain]

Roy Jones
He fought tall guys, big guys, small guys and beat them all

Floyd fought midgets his whole career

Pacquiao was amazing because he was successful against all types of opponents

Sugar Ray Leonard is another choice

[juggernaut666]

Holyfield is the answer if we are talking total package of balance of arsenal along with style bc he could fight in any direction and switch from aggressor to counter puncher as well ,had great hand speed and combination punching .

His ability to stay in the pocket with bigger punchers too is added here and he had great sense of position and timing when he used it . A dominant Cruiser fighter who also out fought top level HW's .He probably also couldve won a LHW title where he started off . He also was successful with multiple trainers , had he stayed with Steward after defeating Bowe who knows how his career pans out ?

In boxing the the most skilled is also the p4p King and ATG.

Sugar Ray Robinson, the best welter & Middleweight of all time. Just ask the great boxers and trainers who's the best.

Experience, skill level, work rate, speed, power, tolerances,
desire, willingness can box and fight and a true two handed attack.

I had a feeling you was gonna post this

Lol you changed it quickly

haha i changed it to golovkin instead to get a bite but noone nibbled, although genuinely think joe was an exceptional fighter and one of the best ive seen. But my real pick is mayweather, however unpopular that is. I wouldnt rate him as the best of all time overall p4p (although hes very much up there) but i dont think ive seen a fighter as skilled as he is, he made world class fighters look like novices. And although he had his struggles against some opponents (maidana, castillo) pretty much every fighter in history has too. Most of the other greats had bad nights in there careers at some point.

It's hard to narrow it down to most skilled. Offensive skill, defensive skill, brawling skill, technical skill etc;

I think of the last 10-20 years Lomachenko and Jones JR are two physical and athletic freaks of nature but I seems too soon to mention Loma and obviously Jones lacked a lot of fundamentals despite his insane talent.

I think Juan Manuel Marquez was an expert technician and master at countering, combinations and threw only beautiful punches. Alexis Arguello is another that springs to mind.

Roberto Duran could do it all and Floyd was a defensive wizard but perhaps didn't flash enough offense mostly to qualify.

I think Eder Jofre was about the perfect boxer from a technique standpoint. He really didn't waste any punches, could throw every punch expertly either as single shots, counter shots or in combinations. He also had good defense and was excellent on his feet and at controlling the distance.

Ezzard Charles, Sugar Ray Leonard, Jose Napoles all deserve a mention. There's many.

[FinitoxDinamita]

Ray Leonard or Ricardo Lopez

[SkillspayBills]

Floyds right up there.
Mike McCallum also. One I feel that gets underlooked maybe because of his toughness is Holyfield he could do it all and was as complete as anybody.

Fighters like Duran and McCallum stick out to me as well. They could fight off the backfoot, counterpunch, get gritty and grimey, coukld fight on the outside or box to victory. Truly versatile and skilled fighters.

[chrisJS]

Ray Leonard or Ricardo Lopez

Finito is up there surely. Also, Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson of modern era guys.

flat out skills i can't get past my boy from norfolk, va pernell sweet pea whitaker

I don't know. In the last 100 years there have been so many great ones. I liked the prime Roy Jones and the prime Jose Napoles a lot. Pound for pound Marciano was great. He was no more than a light heavyweight and beat Charles and Moore who both out weighed him when they fought. Of course Rocky was no highly skilled boxer. He was just a very rugged deadly puncher who had an iron jaw and endless stamina. He just kept throwing many bombs from the first bell until the end. Ray Robinson was great as was Henry Armstrong, Sam Langford and so many more. I can't pick a number 1.
