There aren't many fighters in the history of boxing that can claim to be more skillful than Whitaker. Crawford isn't one of them.
Mayweather tried to tie Cotto up the whole fight while Bud would have beaten Cotto pretty easily. Floyd ran at certain points v Hatton and Cotto. Floyd was a spoiler while Bud is a real fighter.
One of my Personal favorites is Thomas Hearns. I think he was so damn close being the greatest fighter ever. I'm not sure he makes to 10 all time, but I LOVE Hearns. I think Loma has the potential to hit all time top 5, if he beats Teo in the rematch, then the third time, and then has a couple more accomplishments. But I don't really have a Full list or anything. I think Aaron Pryor was also one of those guys that was super close to top 5 all time great, but needed a FEW little things. Mike Tyson lb for lb and age, if you froze him in time when he became champ, and every other fighter in history had to be as good as Tyson was at that age or bust, no one would ever be better. I think there was a point in Mike Tysons career where if you measure him against every other fighter ever at the same age, he is bar none the best. Tyson was the most athletic heavyweight of all-time no current heavyweight can match his hand speed.
Beneitez, Floyd, Duran, Loma, Usyk, Mosley, Hearns, Leonard, Robinson, Marc Too Sharp, and Ennis (talent-wirse)
Yeah. They have/had different attributes. Floyd didn’t have any power and he wasn’t normally aggressive.
4 of those are definite no, the rest are debatable aside from Robinson. This also proves what I said, not many that can claim this.
