hopkins: lacks a little bit of power though
mayweather: same as hopkins
tszyu: lacks a little bit of speed, but is very accurate and has perfect timing

i think those 3 fighters have it almost all.

Vitali Klitchko has the best jab. It's not the prettiest (Rahman holds that honor), but it's by far the most effective, because it comes from all angles, and is continuously in his opponent's face.

Best straight right...have to go with Lewis here. When he lands it, bad things happen. I know he's retired, but hey..what can I say.

Best overhand right. Rahman. Big. Painful.

Yeah, I know I talk mostly about heavyweights, but I figure nobody else will, so I better. ;)

Oh, and most complete fighter...Right now I feel like that's Winky Wright. Impregnable defense, good inside, hard, accurate puncher.

And best combinations is Oscar De LaHoya. Not hard punches, but pretty to watch.

Who has the best jab? Sturm...stiff, straight, and hard jab. Throws his opponent off balance and off their game.

Who has the best straight right? Tszyu. It's like a heat-seeking missile. Stops fights when it lands.

Who has the best lead hook? Since RJJ is out the game i'll say it's Mayweather. Although he doesn't use it as much as the lead right hand, when he uses it, it's almost impossible for lesser fighters to stop it.

Who has the best rear hook? Tyson or Trinidad. Tito throws that hook whenever with bad intentions.

Who has the best upper-cut? Kassim Ouma or Jermain Taylor. Ouma killed Jantuah on the inside with those short, hard uppercuts. Taylor will lead with that uppercut that killed Joppy and Marquez. He puts a lot of juice behind it.

Who has the best Overhand? Morales...moreso at lower weights. Rahman has a nice overhand right as well.

Who's is the best on the inside? James Toney. He's rather small so his range is inside of most other heavyweights. He will cut up another fighter by countering on the inside. That left hook/uppercut 1-2 combo he possesses on the inside is sick.

Who is the best on the outside? Vitali Klitschko or Vivian Harris. Both guys will kill you if they can just sit outside and pot shot you.

Who has the best combinations? Pacquiao. It's his bread and butter combo that ultimately kills all of his opponents.

Who is the closest thing to THE perfect fighter? Miguel Cotto. He has the best all around offensive skillset IMO. He's also a very good defensive fighter. He'll BE the perfect fighter...Bernard Hopkins IS the perfect fighter as of right now.

Remember that ROy is supposedly coming back sometime soon to gear up for another fight against Tarver

Roy Jones still ahs the best lead Left hook, not tito. Tito's hook is powerful but its not so much a lead because it doesnt necessarily lead to other punches other than possibly more left hooks. Jones used his left hooks speed to set up other punches because of its blistering speed and power. Tito's hook, while quick, did not always leave him in a good position to throw other types of punches

It depends which way you like looking at it more. Both Tito and Roy throw some vicious left hooks....quick, powerful, and lands almost willingly (if nothing else works for them...you can count on the left hook.) But Tito tends to throw it while starting flat-footed (The Thing I noticed about Tito throwing it is that he puts alot into it, so much that he's almost off-balance after throwing it, if he gets countered someone can score a knockdown)...Roy leaps into his. Roy and Mayweather throw it kind of the same way except Mayweather makes sure if he misses, you'll have no chance to counter...immediately after throwing it, he pushes his opponent away.

Yea i noticed the same thing about tito thats why I placed Jones over him and also I think Jones has way more power in his left hook than Mayweather because it still hurt ruiz even at heavy
