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.
Tip of the month: Protect yourselves at all times. You never know when the scheming bitch will come back for more.
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!
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.

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.
Guys I'd pay to see attempt to skip rope...Valuev,Maussa,Paul Williams
Im betting Hopkins can still make it look easy.A Berto,Holt ?
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.
That's exactly what I was about to state, he went 3 or 4 skips a minute to beat the world record if I recall, I tried to find some video of him in action on the matter but must admit I am empty handed on that one. Thus said, the video of Greedyboy Floyd with the skipping rope is still absolutely stunning.

That's the way it is, not the way it ends
I train at Wild Card and Manny arrived late to his usual 1 to 4 workout so they opened the gym even tho he was still workin out and i was jumping rope while he was on the speed bag and he came over and started to jump rope next to me and did it for 10 minutes straight without messing up once...I was impressed to say the least lol
I recall reading once that Jeff Chandler jumped rope for 45 minutes - I'm not sure if he never messed up in that time but think about the condition a guy's in to jump rope for that long!
