he's a candidate for most skilled of all time

not a candidate for goat
 
@ 140 and below one of TBE. At welter and above an ATG I guess. Hard to say with Floyd, it just doesn't feel like he ever gave a damn about his legacy then out of nowhere he began proclaiming that he's TBE.
 
where is Whitaker at:think
I don't have a list, because I feel me and 99% of people with lists aren't really knowledgeable enough to justify our picks, but Whitaker normally gets put in the low 20's from what i've seen, and that seems like a fair place to me, there's no one who gets rated above or below him who I do know enough about who I feel should be switched.

So to summarize somewhere in the 20's
 
Great fighter. Definitely Top 50 in just about EVERY SANE FAN'S list. However, he will move around a lot within the Top 50 depending on the fan you talk to. I'm comfortable with him between 20-30. A case could be made for him sneaking into the top teens or falling to the low 30's. He's a great fighter a pleasure to watch. Will miss when he's gone, but am also looking forward to new fresh blood.
 
In terms of his skillet I think he's the greatest of all time.

There's more to all time great rankings than just skillet tho. I'd say he's top 10 personally.
