    Lomachenko is perhaps the most skilled boxer of all time. Willie Pep was really good, Martinez when he was healthy, Joe Louis, but the most skilled boxer I have ever seen is Lomachenko..............

    Some of the very elite are also the most athletic. The only thing you have offended is the illusion of you having half a brain.

    Ike Ibeabuchi, Edwin Valero, I know 2 bad guys right, but they should be on the list.

    What makes you say that? I think Lomachenko is one of the most skilled right now, but the most skilled of all time is a stretch. What is it he does that you think Ray Robinson, Archie Moore, Willie Pep, Henry Armstrong, Roberto Duran, Ezzard Charles, etc couldn't do? How was Lomachenko's domination of Sosa more thorough than Roy Jones' against Vinny Pazienza, Mayweather's over Gatti, Whitaker's over Ramirez in their second bout, Calzaghe over Lacy, Ali over Williams?

    Oh I get it now, you didn't understand my original post at all, what's the need for insults? Can't find more civilised words?

    Remove Bradley, Margarito, and Toney, add Mike Tyson and move Fluid up the list.

    now i absolutely love JT, one of the most skilled fighters ever...but to name him as one of the most athletic is a joke

    Depends of your definition of athletic. Mine is a multi sport talent - with that in mind Porter/Holyfield

    RJJ, some of the fastest hands you'll see, one punch KO power, great agility and reflexes.

    I thought Camacho was pretty athletic in the ring.
