Best fighters with a jump rope today?
I recall seeing clips of Duran & Leonard back in the 80's & how good they were with jump ropes. I can't recall seeing any clips of anyone doing fancy stuff like Duran could these days/lately. Anyone see any modern fighters with rope work that impressed you?
Re: Best fighters with a jump rope today?
Hate to admit it but Mayweather is probably the best p4p ever.
Re: Best fighters with a jump rope today?
You gotta check out floyd mayweather jr with a jump rope he can do some amazing things with it.
Re: Best fighters with a jump rope today?
Thanks guys, I almost wrote that I'd bet Floyd would be good/great. I never saw Manny do any rope work other than the basics but he seems like he could be a great one too.
Re: Best fighters with a jump rope today?
Roy Jones is pretty good at it, and was amazing at it in his prime, I am sure guys like Gamboa and Rigondeaux would be great at it if they do it at all.
Re: Best fighters with a jump rope today?
Heres a vid of floyd with jumping rope I found real quick. Pretty good if you ask me.

Arthur Abraham is probably the man who can do the most skips. He was in a world record attempt not so long ago but was beaten by a broad. Can't remember who she was though.

Thanks for the link Wadeb, I'll check it @ home because it's not working here @ work.
I was @ the gym @ lunch today & saw this hot little blonde with great legs roping & she's what made me think of this. She was roping like someone who'd done it before - a lot!
Re: Best fighters with a jump rope today?
Duran was amazing IMO but PBF is the best in the sport today, that I have seen anyway.
Skip to 4:45 if your short of time.

Re: Best fighters with a jump rope today?
Floyd is silky smooth on the jump ropes. But I am always amazed by Duran. People just tend to think of him as a power puncher/slugger. But the man was an incredible athlete and boxer...and he was damn amazing on the jump ropes.

You saw a really hot blonde chick with great legs and it made you think about Floyd Mayweather jumping rope?
Re: Best fighters with a jump rope today?
Guys I'd pay to see attempt to skip rope...Valuev,Maussa,Paul Williams;D
Im betting Hopkins can still make it look easy.A Berto,Holt ?
Re: Best fighters with a jump rope today?
I read about Duran alittle bit. I heard he didn't even know how to jump rope when started at the gym. He would take my vote.

LOL, no just about boxers jumping rope & that I hadn't seen any good clips lately like I recall of Duran. Some people rope like it's the 1st time they ever used one, this woman had nice timing & was believable when she told me she had a lot of practice.
