Kinda like the speed and power per division thread but the topic is offensive skill. I’m not asking for fighters with powerful arsenals but fighters who just had great offensive skill in each division.
Hagler had more punch variety than Monzon and Usyk`s offensive skills are far better than Haye`s were.
Minimum weight - Ricardo Lopez Jr Flyweight - I'll throw Humberto Gonzalez or Jung Koo-Chang out there Flyweight - Jimmy Wilde Jr Bantamweight - Khaosai Galaxy Bantamweight - Ruben Olivares or Carlos Zarate Jr Featherweight - Wilfredo Gomez Featherweight - Sandy Saddler Super Featherweight - Alexis Arguello Lightweight - Roberto Duran and Ike Williams Jr Welterweight - Aaron Pryor Welterweight - Henry Armstrong or Ray Robinson Jr Middleweight - Mike McCallum Middleweight - Marvin Hagler, hard to decide but being able to swap to southpaw earns him extra points here Super Middleweight - Roy Jones Jr Light Heavyweight - Matthew Saad Muhammad Cruiserweight - Evander Holyfield Heavyweight - Joe Louis
The two that seem most indisputable to me are: 122: Wilfredo Gomez 126: Sandy Saddler I’d have to think a bit on the others.
Fly, jr feather, feather, jr light, light and welter: Pacquiao. Fly none other than Wilde Duran also at light. Hatton and pryor at Jr welter. Loads at welter Ray leonard, mosley, duran to name a few. Ray Robinson at middle. I like benn's offensive skill at super middle had great variety and Jones Jr. Holyfield at cruiser and heavy. Also Dempsey at heavy, and Frank Slavin was suppose to have great offensive skills.
