The 10 Most Skilled Fighters You Have Ever Seen

I would possibly add Joey Archer as a honourable mention...just cause I don't think anyone mentioned him yet.

 

Fucccck. Hard to do. No order, i can't do that ****.

1. Joe Louis
2. Barney Ross
3. Tony Canzoneri
4. Henry Armstrong
5. Eder Jofre
6. Roberto Duran
7. Sugar Ray Leonard
8. Sweet Pee
9. Sugar Ray Robinson
10. Archie Moore

 

Good call, i forgot about Joey.

Ohba too, though he was a huge, imposing Flyweight.

 

I mentioned Archer....as a HM....

 

Whitaker
Chavez
Sanchez
Gomez
Napoles
Hearns
Charles
Robinson
Duran
Leonard


I like the shout out to Curry, but I think he falls just a bit shy of a top ten most-skilled. Noting against him at all, but there are others I'd place above him as seen above......

 

My bad Vic.

 

No order....

Muhammad Ali
Ray Robinson
Ray Leonard
Salvador Sanchez
Pernell Whitaker
Roberto Duran
Thomas Hearns
Floyd Mayweather jr
Julio Cesar Chavez
Roy Jones jr

 

winky wright at his best? or nah?

 

No Kid Chocolate? :bart

 

I love MArcel, I do think you overrate him though, although I love how high you are on him though.

I like the Canto pick, interesting to see him so high.

Heres mine in no particular order.


Luis Manuel Rodriguez
Fighting Harada
Ray Robinson
Bernard Hopkins
Pernell Whittaker
Roberto Duran
Jung-Koo Chang
Henry Armstrong
Ricardo Lopez
Wilfredo Gomez.

 

Floyd Mayweather would have to rank fairly high - he's amazing

and I love watching the things James Toney does where he's reliant on his skill really as he doesn't have the size or power/strength to fall back on

Pernell Whitaker was the first name that popped into my head as soon as I saw the title of this thread so he's a given

Archie Moore was next in my head

funnily enough the next one that popped up was Gene Tunney - probably not amongst most people's top TOP fighters but I just think he was a masterful boxer to watch

Obviously Ray Robinson was an absolute genius

Sorry I know you said only people we've got a genuine number of fights on....but Charley Burley looked amazingly good to me even if only in one fight

 

After some thinking I swapped Toney for Kalambay. Sumbu did pretty much what Toney did, only had much better movement and a much better jab.

HMs: Ali, Curry, Robinson, Toney, Hagler

 

Nah.

 

Ever. Has to be Gavin Rees. He has no particular physical attributes at all but can do it all in the ring. Even if he had one outstanding attribute he would be elite.

 

Ezzard Charles was more skilled than Robinson.
