    A Prime RJJ definately, in his prime RJJ could hit you from anywhere, he was probably the best fighter ever at creating angles.

    I didn't want to repeat too many people's lists...

    Offense could include Hagler, Hearns, and Duran as well. Also, JCC and Morales.

    Ye definitely agree with all them names. What are your thoughts on Juan Diaz's offense i am begining to think its better each fight the amount of punches he lands is very impressive.

    Roy Jones, Jr., in my opinion, is the most physically gifted fighter of all time.

    Ray Robinson most skillfull.
