Best CURRENT offensive p4p fighters.

Since we are talking about the best 'offesive' fighter, no doubt it's pac. But let me continue a bit. The best 'defensive' would be PBF, Calderon, and Guzman - the so-called 'slick' fighters. The most balanced would be JMM, of course. The best of them all - anyone, whatever the style, who gets his job done against the best opponents out there; take you picks.

I like Pac's I DON'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT flying straight left. There's nothing tactical to it... but hey, as long as it is producing knockdowns, I got no problem with it.

JMM's counterpunch and combo impresses me too.

But I would put Andre Berto on top coz he's like a pitbull in the ring, just one agressive mofo.

Good topic and list Taeth, sent some rep.. Can't think of any glaring exceptions to the lists that have already been posted... However I think you could easily argue Roy Jones still deserves a spot since we are talking strictly offensive abilities.. However I suppose his mentality what with being gunshy has lead to him being much less busy on offence. Still the skills, speed and his overall arsenal are still very much there imo.

Surprised nobody's even mentioned Wlad as an honorable mention.

I'm not a fan and he maybe doesn't have great punch variety but what he does well (jab, right hand, left hook) he does very well and obviously he's got great physical talent, so much power, fast for his size.

Pacquiao and Cotto are clearly the top 2. Cotto is much more refined technically and is much more well-rounded, Pacquiao has more raw speed and explosion.

He is way too gunshy... when he was backing up big light heavyweights, and they had no answer for him, I agree he was among the best offensive fighters I've ever seen, but now Roy is mostly fighting off his back foot, and he doesn't throw the effective combinations he used to.
