    DOn't get me wrong Pac and Winky would be atop this list if it was best fighters. But the list is for most complete fighters. WInky lacks power and Pacman lacks proper footwork and defense.

      I agree about calzghe but he tends to ge very sloppy when allowed ..its almost like he fights down to his competition

        At his best I guess Calzaghe would be the most complete, decent power, fast, strong and has a good defence.

        Winky isn't a complete fighter because he just doesn't have the power to hurt top class fighters, though he is a defensive master and a very tricky southpaw indeed.


        Pac is just Pac, a wrecking ball of a fighter with increasingly good technique and ring smarts.

          whos the most complete
          Perhaps Calzaghe or Judah, they are true traditional southpaws who understand the weaknesses and strengths of being a left handed fighter. Winky and Byrd just do what they do, and Pacquiao is just a slugger with phenomenal athleticism, but doesnt truly understand being a southpaw except that he knows he hits hard with his left than other people do.

Just because Winky does'nt KO people does'nt mean hes a complete boxer? Your a ****** and its official.

                2007 will bring the end of the Winky Wright show to be real with you. Judah is the best southpaw of all of these guys, to be honest. I just didn't want to say that.

                  Im in agreement with both those points, Judah knows and uses the southpaw stance to better use than the rest. Duznt, at least not to me, mean he's a better fighter tho

                    Talent-wise, I think he may be a better boxer. By that, I mean that he understands the principles and has the basic functions of a boxer to maximize his effectiveness. Of course, that means nothing if you don't have it upstairs.

                      Yeah dude im with u on that. His chin sucks but more so than that its his focus that lets him down! He has had a good career but its been a let down, for me anyway, i thought this guy was gonna go ALL the way!
