Ok good, but he should really be in the top 5 on your first list, giving him honorary mention still doesn't cut it for me :P
Re: TOP TEN MOST SKILLFUL FIGHTERS
oscar delahoya was pretty skilled in his day, as well
Re: TOP TEN MOST SKILLFUL FIGHTERS
Tommy Hearns was one chin away from being top three on the list.
Re: TOP TEN MOST SKILLFUL FIGHTERS
Roy Jones is the best ever bar none. I'll tell ya a guy who doesn't get enuff credit today for his masterful skills, Juan Manuel Marquez, what a left uppercut! Not to mention every other punch in his arsenal is perfectly thrown with great form and leverage. JMM is a great boxer, and hopefully will get another super fight with MAB, Morales, or Pacman very soon.

Re: TOP TEN MOST SKILLFUL FIGHTERS
larry holmes,johnny tapia, winky wright,and james toney deserve to be mentioned
Re: TOP TEN MOST SKILLFUL FIGHTERS
Although a different style, have to say the great Kostya Tszyu. Even though he is not highly rated outside Australia & Russia, he is going to go down as one of the best. His record in Pros and Amateurs speak for itself. ;D
