If could create a fighter that you think would be possibly the GOAT using the abilities p4p of any 3 fighters in history. P4P meaning if your fighter is at featherweight and you give him Mike Tysons Power, this doesn't mean he literally punches as hard as Iron Mike, but means he comparatively has Tyson's power for his weight class. My GOAT would possess the following:
Pernell Whitakers) defense
Julian Jackson's) power
Roy Jones) handspeed
Would most def be a highly avoided fighter. Lol. I wonder how much having that kind of power would change a defensive minded fighter? Would you be as defensive if you knew you could chop down a tree with your fists and would you become more open to take punches? Just an unrelated side thought
I dont think i would. I'd be tryna kill people lol. But i was looking at it from a counter puncher with some of the best timing and most accurate punches in the history of the sports point of view.....If i had power like that and KNEW that when you missed i was pretty much gonna connect somewhere...well, then i think i wouldn't mind opening up a little more to lure you in, knowing that all i need is to land a few pull counters right down the pipe. Besides, i chose 130/135 because floyd wasn't as safety first as he is in the higher weights.
In my opinion Sugar Ray Leonard was the perfect fighter and had no weaknesses. He would have out-classed Robinson. People get too wrapped up in how many fights he had but the truth is, could he have fought that many times in any other era? I didn't think so. He was great and ahead of his time but he had major flaws that a more atheletic and tactful fighter would have taken advantage of.
Couldn't agree more IMO SRL was the perfect fighther... Had it all.
Leonard........

I mean Ruben Olivares was a monster. I think like somewhere in the vicinity of his first 50 fights was by k.o. They called him the flyweight with a heavyweight punch lol. Could u imagine if with all of mayweathers abilities, he hit like tyson at welter? str8 monster..lol
I mean but if you don't think that is enough, what about mayweather with Shavers power at 130/135?

floyd's shoulders, tyson's teeth, margarito's gloves and peterson's testosterone.
LOL!!! Hahahaha!!! This $h!+ made me crack up!!! Thanks I needed that.
No need to create a fighter, both Sam Langford and Harry Greb are greater than Robinson in my opinion.
i have to agree,,,Sam was a natural welter beating heavies....people have short memories.....Greb was a beast to...Robinson was great but his comp wasnt **** outside Gavilan till moving to 160 and past prime...tommy bell hmmmmm
My bad, i just read where u said using only 3 fighters in history.....Ok
Mayweather with Olivares punching power is all you'll need.....
You think that's enough to take the greatest of all time spot though?
Ali's foot work, hearns power, tysons head movement, Mayweathers timing and Defence. Hopkins or Mayweathers ring smarts, Margarito's chin (lol), Gatti's heart. RJJ hand speed. Dempsy's roll (entertainment value lol) and klitz jab.......Is that good enough?
I chose to add intangibles on top of skill set, because i think sometimes its the intangibles that decide fights, not just boxing ability......i might have just created a monster.....
sad thing is no one will get over SRR..who was great...but wasnt flawless......there are guys if you look at the whole package could be ranked higher....boxing guys like old folks are stuck in their ways, you hear it being said enough then its a fact, look at history/ HIS STORY....In my eyes Henry Armstrong was the GOAT...just my view
