Most skillful fighter in boxing history? Who is he?

[IronDanHamza]

Its asking for the most skillful. Charles is probably Mccallum level. Low tier top 10

Right but why don't you stop talking in riddles and going off irrelevant tangents.

You said "Most of Chavez fights show skill yet that doesn't mean so"

What does that even mean and what the hell does it have to do with anything I've said?

I used Ezzard Charles as my example, that is not an unpopular opinion. You then say "There's not enough footage to justify that" to which now you're saying there is enough but to tell you which ones. Well, I've told you which ones. Go back and look and you'll see which one's that I said I liked

[IronDanHamza]

As good of a choice as anyone. Can't really see why it would cause much debate.

Right.

Am I missing something here?

roy jones, a kinesthetic genius, with a highly creative arsenal of attacks

most skilled

**** people always putting down this athletic monster, he knew perfectly how to move his body, not his fault the majority of people have no body awareness with no clue how to treat or manuever for leverage with their bodies

i've seen ray robinson and he's not that skilled, but those wide ass doubled/tripled left hooks are pretty terrifying

Ummm, no.
Roy Jones was unable to decisively win a fight (in fact, getting ko'ed repeatedly), after John Ruiz. If he were truly that skilled fundamentally, imo, he would've been able to. He was otherworldy athletically though...

What? You know there is barely any footage of Burley, right?

You said there's not enough footage to justify Charles skills (20+ fights, some of which beating great fighters) yet there's seeminginly enough of Burley, who "reminds you of Jones Jr" yet there is only one fight of his filmed.

So how can you justify that? 20+ fights wasn't enough to justify it at first, now Burley is a good example?

Which fights do you consider Burley to show his skills? Since you asked for Charles. Well there's only one fight of Burley that I know of and that's Oakland Billy Smith.

Where am I saying any of this? It was merely a talking point. Refcukinglax man.

Well you're agreeing with Burley right? Comparing him to Roy Jones (Who you've used as your example as the most skilled)

Well how can you say there's not enough footage to justify Charles and then talk about Burley and compare him to Roy Jones?

What fights do you think show Burley's skill? The same question you asked me. Because like I said there's only one fight of Burley's that I know of.

Mainly his stance and reflex reminds me of Roy. If I wanted to list Burley I would've

Sure buddy.

[BattlingNelson]

Dan by total destruction.

[Bennyhill]

Top ten P4P dish too.

Would he beat Sturm, Oscar, Calzaghe, Reid head to head?

good question mate. However I find roger mayweather to be the undisputed greatest dish of all time.


His subtitles are so ***y.

If were to count modern fighters, I think B-Hop is one of the few worth a mention.

I added more since its an impossible thing to answer. Skill is strategy, and an overall effectiveness in timing, offense, and defense. Not relying largely on chin, heart, or physical attributes first.
