    Sorry to be a nuisance, but how do we measure skills?

    How the **** do you determine how skilled a fighter is you **** stain? Are we supposed to determine skill based on how well a guy shadow boxes?

    I think the question is like: Who on their best day is the nearest to undefeatable?

    A few I can think of, SRR obviously, Duran and Tyson. If these lads are operating at peak weight on a good night, you're getting KTFO basically.

    technique really doesn't matter much H2H it's more about results, and therefore power plays a much bigger role. Foreman was a H2H monster.

    Honestly MVC you really are screwing up this site with your damn obsession with Mayweather. You really should get the **** out of here.

    Deontay Wilder, Calzaghe, Lopez, Marciano, and Mayweather are the greatest of all time according to south. Competition and quality and prime fighters they beat mean nothing, but nobody has ever been able to match their skill and technique.

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned Liston or Langford yet. Both would be near the top of my list.
