    If Wladimir Klitschko had a granite chin he'd be one of the most formidiabble champions ever.

    If Floyd Mayweather had one punch KO power he'd be the most amazing boxer ever.

    If Edison Miranda had a bit more variety in technique and speed he'd be a middleweight god.

    There are many boxers that are only missing one element- one thing standing in their way from perfection. That's why you occasionally you hear the term 'total package'. It means a boxer has everything he could possibly need. There are dozens of fighters who would be amazing if they had one attribute they lacked- it's a moot point. Every fighter is what they are because of what they have and what they lack.

      Don't forget how scary Juan Diaz would be if he had KO power.

          You guys should've given Lacy this much credit when he took over 1000 punches and kept walking forward for more.

            But Lacy was dropped, hurt, and cut. Andrade just kept coming. BTW Andrade is one of those boxers that I always wonder how a better trainer can change their whole career around another fighter like that is Lovemore Ndou.........if he had more skill he could be a great fighter.

              If Andrade could box, he'd be a better fighter. More accurately, if Andrade could box, he'd be a different fighter.

              These kind of hypothetical conditions aren't realistic because they simply aren't the way they are. Andrade has been fighting the way he's been fighting probably since the day he put on gloves, that's not going to change. Mayorga would be unstoppable if he could box also, but he can't so wut we gon do?

                Asian is pretty much on here...

                Librado is who Librado is and that is not going to change much at all, he will continue to be a rugged badass who walks thru punches and tests the will and heart of all who face him but against the divisions VERY best he will recieve some tough lessons.

                I still think he can beat alot of fighters out there, love to see him fight Bute or Allan Green (Bute probably beats him and Green probably gets stopped brutally) but guys like Calzaghe and Kessler are just in a seperate league.

                  Well, Barrera went from slugger to boxing technician so why not speculate on other fighters who could do the same. Gatti also changed his ways while training with Mcgirt...........

                      I was impressed with his chin. He just needs to have some style. All he was doing was lunging the whole fight.

                      Do you think his future looks bright? I believe he is in thre Golden Boy stable?
                      His chin was incredible......he took many,many flush shots that would have KOed most guys in that division.He appeared unfixable tho....his balance was way off and he is just a brawler very little technique.Far worse than say Lacy who Most people like to say is simply a brawler.
