    Depends on your definition of skilled. At the top you'd have guys like the Klits, Lewis, Fury, Bowe, Tokyo Douglas (though it's debatable whether he's as good as the aforementioned men). You?

    I think to a certain degree, he was born with the ability to become a great puncher. It`s like a natural gift and has not always something to do with physical appearance. An exception was maybe Thomas Hearns. As an amateur, he was more a weak puncher, but as a professional he became an alltime great puncher.

    Marciano was too small to punch with AJ`s power.

    Arnie`s biceps were far too big to punch properly, he could hardly move with all that muscle, there has never been a boxer with a body like that.

    Marciano was only 5`9 Foreman was 6`3 Marciano`s natural build was nothing like M.Tyson`s, look at their neck sizes.

    His biceps were really small compared to AJ`s and Foreman`s.
