    Haha, are you really saying that Mayweather is not skilled?? Please watch something else than boxing, you obviously have no idea what you’re watching :D

    I'm not saying he's not skilled, it's just that he sucks the oxygen outta the room. I'd rather watch Canelo instead of him lol.

    Probably AJ.
    He's not high skill, it's just he's decent skill for the huge size.
    AJ got by being massive and having enough skill to compensate against small and old fighters that were more skilled (a lot of them).

    I get it, I’m not a fan of Mayweather either but the question was “Who is the least skilled cash cow” and no matter your personal feelings about him, Mayweather is one of the most skilled boxers maybe ever.

    Agreed.

    Mayweather could be dull, sometimes just because it felt like a foregone conclusion and you knew there weren't many openings - he might've been selective in opponents sometimes ("who" and/or "when") and that didn't help things.


    It's actually one of the things that's made Fury interesting, as a contrary example...
    Because he was always error prone, could get caught showboating and turned up for fights out of condition... Well, there was often a real chance he could get beaten, even by someone he shouldn't - even a relative joke opponent had a chance, and that meant it was rarely boring even though he usually won uncontroversially (though not always by any means!).


    There's no comparison in skills, dedication or resume - but it's interesting how there's more to being entertaining or even popular than just being the absolute best.

    Canelo is not over rated. He’s had a bit of a disappointing career since the loss to Bivol, but he will go down as an ATG and will be a first ballot hall of famer, and rightfully so…

    You could make a good argument for that for the rest of them though, especially during certain points in their career.

    I’d say Ryan is easily the least skilled, but it’s between him and AJ. Tank is clearly skilled, he may have some issues, but skill isn’t one of them.

    Nothing needs to be said of Canelo, he shouldn’t even be on the list.
