Most complete fighter ever lived.

1. sugar ray robinson
2. "hurricane hank" henry armstrong im surprised no 1 mentioned him.

those r my first two, u gotta take alot into consideration to rate pound for pound the best, but those two jump into my mind when thinking pound for pound immediatly

[SABBATH]

you are also spot on when you call arguello a gracious champ! arguello never *****footed around the top competition.

Arguello could have easily been a 4 weight champion if he fought the WBC junior welter belt holder Leroy Haley instead of facing the great Aaron Pryor not once but twice. Pryor's respect for Arguello is unquestionable...

Old school, right now..Wich fighter has the most complete package? Speed, power, skill, chin, heart etc etc etc.

I'd pick Sugar Ray Robinson.

well, it depends on what you mean by complete. if you mean complete in physical gifts, then it's sugar ray robinson, roy jones, jr., or mike tyson. if it's complete in a combination of the physical and mental aspect, then it's sugar ray robinson, or muhammad ali.

i hate to say it but tyson had speed and power and some good skills

i would have said louis, but he was slow on his feet. but a guy like tyson had very good footspeed.

louis wasn't slow on his feet per say, because it was all in his style. blackburn (louis' trainer) knew that at the time a black champion wouldn't be accepted. in order to become a champion, louis had to produce knockouts.

sure he was. if he wasn't, then people like conn and nova wouldn't give him hell.

if only he had a world class chin, id say Thomas "The HitMan" Hearns. he could knock you out with one punch, or box your ears off. just ask SRL. even when he was well beyond his prime he was still able to outbox a prime undefeated Virgil Hill. he is underestimated. on his best night I think he could have beaten anybody p4p. if he only had the chin....
