Yeah? I challenge you to name FIVE of them...
I am not saying all of these guys are more skilled then PBF, but look at these names and compare see with what you come up...

Pernell
Pep
RJJ
SRR
Arguello
SRL
"Finito" Lopez
Ali
These are incredibly skilled guys, but I don't believe they were as skilled as Floyd with the exception of possibly SRR. Pep and Pernell are two of my idols, but they relied a lot on reflexes and god given speed. Same with RJJ.

If you're looking at pure boxing skill, offense, defense, footwork, psychology, ring generalship, ect, I don't think any of these guys put it all together like FLoyd Mayweather.

People can knock Floyd for his compedition, or retiring while there are still mega fights out there that he should be taking, but if you look at his in ring ability without bias, I think you'll be hard pressed to find many who were more skilled than Floyd, let alone "lots" as the gentleman I replied to claimed.
