I forgot about Duran. Maybe the best lightweight of all time. Still I can't pick a certain clear number 1 best boxer of all time. There are just too many great ones for me to be sure any one boxer was really better than all the rest.

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.
In his own words he wasn't a good inside fighter but he didn't liked when people thought that they could brawl with him without consequences.
Hernandez about the WSB format: "Probably I would have done horribly since it looks more like pro boxing where you need to brawl more, but it is the real boxing".

Jose Napoles to me was perfect in every aspect, his only weakness seemed to be his paper thin skin, when you get to the level of these guys being mentioned though you're splitting hairs really, Duran, Charles, Spinks, Robinson, Monzon, Leonard, Jofre (admit he is a person favourite as well though), Roy Jones, Mayweather etc, it's difficult for me to pick one over the other.

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 ?

Do you have any other full fights other than Harada I & II, Legra and Medel I? I've got a lot of highlights but **** out of luck finding full fights.

QNobody has dominated the game as conclusively and undebateably as Floyd Mayweather Jr, and he did it for his entire career.
He made himself look invincible, he dominated some of the best fighters in the world and fought as perfect a technical fight a human being could fight. Everytime he stepped into the ring, he proved that he was a class above everyone else (except castillo 1)
If I had to pick the most skilled fighter of all time, I would have to pick Floyd.Last edited by DARKSEID; 03-09-2018, 01:58 PM.
