Khan and Haye don't really deserve a shout in this thread. Neither are the greatest skilled offensive fighters.

Haye has gotten quite far on his power alone (He is skilled but not THAT skilled) and he's hardly a defensive master either.

Khan's offense is so basic it's untrue. Roach has had to take him back to basics, jab jab right hand. ALL straight shots. He can't throw hooks or uppercuts or maybe he wont because (which leads me too.....) it leaves huge gaps in his woeful defense. Khan's speed and his ability to get in and out after throwing simple combinations is his greatest defensive assett.

Regardless of what they've achieved the question was about skill. Not who has skill AND POWER to take them to particular levels, it was skill. Napa, Booth, Brook and Gavin all come to mind here, not Haye and Khan

Exactly right.Give Booth and Napa Haye's power and they would be world beaters,no doubt about it.

Don't like hypotheticals like this. There have been many exampels of highly-skilled 'feather fists (wouldn't say Booth is feather fisted anyway) that have made it to the top, with less titles and weight classes to fight in.

If you're good enough, you're good enough, power or not.
