The most skilled fighters

[OumaFan]

Think I may have done something along these lines earlier but a bunch of posts have been wiped out so I'm not sure

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

Mayweather
Wright
Casamayor
Calderon

[OumaFan]

I forgot Winky. That's a pretty big omission. CC

[Puya]

Mayweather
Wright
ODLH
Casamayor
Calderon

Great list had to edit it.

Worthy mention for me:

DLH
Parra
Calzaghe

I just saw you edited my list, but Casamayor has great skills IMO

[OumaFan]

Casamayor deserves a mention, not sure he's in my top shelf list but he's very skilled

Parra's also very skilled, only seen him twice, wish I could see more.

Up and comers that I think are skilled: Quintana, Lamont Peterson, Jorge Linares

Also Martin Castillo's pretty skilled, wish I could see what happened in his last fight

PBF is the best. He will be the best in the business for many years to come. The competition is very weak in comparison. I am surprised he is not bored. If I was as great as PBF, I would be fighting like 8 times a year.

I was gonna put both Quintana & Castillo but Quintana got dropped by Julio but is still very slick & Castillo gets hit a little to much for my liking.

Haven't seen a lot of Kyowa but what I've seen impressed me!

I haven't seen Kyowa at all, not a second of a round, sounds like a good fighter though.

I think Pernell Whitaker was pretty skilled. Some of what sweetpea did defensively still leaves me in awe.

Definitely, I just meant current fighters though, if not I would have definitely included him

Yeah I was just poeting current fighters or else my boy Lopez would have been there too, he could do it all

Sugar Shane I think is pretty skilled.

Tito Trinidad he did so much with that only dimension

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!
