    I actually have Ward as my #3 p4p.

    But you talking just technical skills or overall ability?

    Skill wise - Ward and Dawson come to mind although neither is close to May or Pac.

    Chad Dawson is the most skilled boxer in the sport not named PBF.:deal

    JMM is more "skillful" than Pac, and he proved it by beating his ass twice....without any physical advantages.

    Chad Dawson is tall and very fast but he's not as skilled as he's made out to be.

    JMM was a career featherweight and Pac had just moved into the featherweight division 6 months ago when they fought the first time.

    No he's not. He doesn't have a better jab nor does he throw every punch in the book like Dawson nor does he have better footwork.

    Pac isn't really skillfull, he just found a substance that allows him to be physically superior to his foes.

    :lol: @ child please.

    But you're right. Dawson got skills.

    JMM got skills too.

    Pac is more physical and athletic than skilled, if you can separate the two.

    of course you can.

    Mosley made a name for himself using his athletic ability, and it got me far, but skill wise he was nowhere near fighters like Forrest, Winky, De La Hoya, Mayweather or even Cotto.
