    What is your top 10 boxers with the best 'offensive skills'

    I define 'offensive skills' as the ability to land punches on the opponent or more importantly, land EFFECTIVE punches on the opponent which results in damage, knockdowns, knockouts and etc.

    Power is a part of 'offensive skills', but isn't the only attribute related to it. There are other attributes such as punching technique / mechanics to apply as much weight and force from the body as possible when delivering a punch, punching accuracy, punching timing, ability to set up punches / offense and etc.


    My list is as follows:

    1) Vasyl Lomachenko

    2) Anthony Joshua / Artur Beterbiev

    3) Dmitry Bivol / Oleksandr Gvozdyk

    4) Gennady Golovkin

    5) Sergey Kovalev

    6) Naoya Inoue

    7) Mikey Garcia

    8) Canelo Alvarez

    9) Errol Spence Jr

    10) Oleksandr Usyk


    Honorable mentions: Alexander Povetkin and Luis Ortiz


    What do you all think and what is your list (from best to worse)?

                My favorite all time offensive fighter is Aaron Pryor, another very honorable mentions include Roberto Duran, Ray Leonard, Ray Robinson, Chavez, Mike Tyson, Roy Jones and Manny Pacquiao.

                From the current crop I think GGG is very good, Terence Crawford, Sergey Kovalev, Lomachenko, Badou Jack, Errol Spence and Mikey Garcia. They have very educated offense and they're also defensively responsible, they know how to crete openings and how to take advantage of them.

                  Your list isn't bad but I'm surprised Crawford isn't on there. I also have a problem with Canelo being on there because he tends to fight in spurts.

                    Lol Loma is topping the list? One of the keys of being an offensive fighter is actually having power.

                    GGG
                    Kovalev
                    AJ

                    are the only true stand outs with Manny now almost shot, while the likes of Inoue and Spence need to be tested a bit more at the highest level.
