I'll adimt Trinidad did great with what he had, but his skill level technically was severly lacking... although you could add John Ruiz as he was the most skilled clincher I ever saw!

Yeah Gamo JMM is technically sound but I saw him get clean 3 times by Pacquiao in that 1st round. Don't know if he was just cold or what but he sure was open!
Re: The most skilled fighters
I think he was just cold bro and he did win most of the other rounds!! Add EM and MAB to my list,both warriors,have boxing skills and in their primes,were amazing!

Yeah but you could argue Wright is just is good if not better technically
Re: The most skilled fighters
Id say Tyson
Although he was a run in and kill man, the way he rolled , slipped and countered was so textbook perfect alot of the time it was beautiful to watch.
If i was teaching someone to box and came to slipping, bobbing weaving and rolling id show tyson.

When I say skills I don't mean natural athletic ability (pure speed, pure power, etc.), I mean defense, slipping punches, timing, skilled punches (how straight you throw them, technical punches), countering, etc.
I'll go with
Floyd
Toney
Hopkins (assuming he's still fighting)
JMM
Calderon
Barrera-could be a bit better defensively maybe
Guzman if he'd tighten up his punches, can be a bit wild at times
If I've forgotten somebody, well that's the point, give me some names
Judah needs to be on the list for "skill"
it's just mentality he's lacking.

That's the main component of skill.
