    Vlad is the most skilled heavyweight in boxing history, I just hope he keeps boxing for several more years so we can see the best of him, he has still not peaked yet, getting there though.

    It is sure as hell isn't someone who wasn't fightings from the 80s onwards, the 1980s.

    John Ruiz.

    Nah, seriously, it's hard to say. Sugar Ray Robinson is the consensus best boxer of all time but was he necessarily the most skillful? Has anyone seen enough SRR footage to be able to give an opinion on this?

    Yes, just watch him get hit by LaMotta's predictable jab.

    Robinson was likely the best physical specimin in boxing from the 1940s though.
