    Who is your greatest top 3 p4p fighters both skills and talent wise?

    My first would be Roy Jones Jr, amazing hand speed, reflexes, power, and made alot of these so called bums that would give other fighters lots of trouble look very easy. His style is one of kind.
    Floyd Mayweather almost like a minature Roy Jones in the lower weight class but with less pop and better technically in his division.
    Mike Tyson as 3rd for his for his unrivaled picaboo fight style great head movement and uncanny power to throw with both speed and power like no one else could with both hands and his chin of steel which you had to hit like 100+ power shots within a fight just to crack that egg and take it out.

    1-Floyd Mayweather
    2-Ray Robinson
    3-Kid Chocolate

    Joe Gans, based on the Battling Nelson fight alone, would be up there too.

    Archie Moore is the best puncher I've ever seen.

    Roberto Duran and Marvin Hagler in the 70's are probably the two most complete fighters I've seen.

    For me, James Toney was more skilled and talented than Roy Jones or Tyson. I believe Toney showed a level of skill in the Barkley fight alone that surpasses most of what I've seen in the last 25 years.

      Chris Eubank in '89/'90 showed some very impressive skills, coming in from either side and making good use of his speed, how he'd never waste a shot, lethal at hurting his opponent with a perfect counter, that low stance and those pouncing attacks, the way he'd bring uppercuts in with either hand.. loved it.

              ** Obviously your knowledge of boxing only goes back 20 yrs and doubtless you've had your noggin filled with junk media hype.
