    :huh

    Well I guess this is based on how you identify a skilled fighter. I look for a solid combonation of offense/defensive abilities, text book delivery and adjustment capabilities. The guys I bolded are surely skilled but the balance in my opinion is not there. I understand my list contains people who most may not put on their listing but this isnt based on accomplishments alone.

    Here is my list:

    Floyd
    JMM
    Cotto
    Paulie Malanaggi
    Chad Dawson
    Nonito Donaire
    Ivan Calderon
    Andre Ward
    Jorge Linares
    Chris John
    Adrian Broner
    Luis Garcia

    I think Erik Morales deserves a mention. I know hes not the same fighter but his technical skills and patience are still beautiful to watch.
