Who would be the best ever IF

[Hearnsz]

IF every fighter had the same power, speed, reflexes, stamina and chin?

So basically it comes down to pure boxing skill (footwork, defense, punching technique...) and ring IQ.

Let's go even further. Who would be the best ever if every fighter was exactly the same?

/Worst thread I have ever seen.

Even though we assume they all have the same power. I think McClellan would hit by far the hardest cause he always rotated his body to the fullest.

Fighters who don't put their body much into it like Floyd and Malignaggi would still be faster than others.

Obviously Pernell's defence wouldn't work out opposed to B-hop's.

Ali's and Tszyu's ring IQ and sense of range (in-and-out-movement) would help them alot.

Volume punchers like Calzaghe would gass out opposed to fighters like Ray Leonard who spread their energy output.

But who would generally be the best?

Fail.
If you're not interested in pure boxing skill and ring IQ, you're not a true boxing fan.

SRR and ALI!

SRR and ALI!

Ali came to my mind aswell. In his prime he used his sense of range as a defensive tool rather than speed and reflexes. Later on he relied more on his chin though.
He was also great at preserving energy.

I'm not sure SRR would have been succesful though. He had a lack of defence and almost always relied on his chin and his combination of speed and power. He did rotate his body well, but he did it with great speed aswell. That's only possible with great physical ability.

nikolay valuev

nikolay valuev

Well, shorter fighters won't have much reason to stay away from Valuev's punches when they have the same power etc...
I don't think Valuev is such an infighter so fighters like Holyfield could just get in there and STAY there, opposed to having to get out every time.

Boxing skill + ring IQ > reach

Sugar Ray Leonard?

How can floyd and Paulie be faster if everyone has the same speed?
