    I would say Donaire looks the most complete. I think Bradley deserves a nod too. I just dont see it with Ward, he is a good fighter but I wouldnt say he was the most complete.

      donaire: doesn't know how to fight on the inside....

      marquez: doesn't know how to fight on the inside (very good combination counter puncher though)

      i would say it's a toss up between ward & mayweather........

      this is about being the more "complete" fighter.

          I cant look past Floyd, Ward is my boy an all but Floyd is by far the most complete fighter i have ever seen. But Ward is still comming into his own, I feel if he beats Froch, an Bute he's is the most complete fighter, I still wanna see how he fairs against some of the best, so far he has proved to be a problem in that divsion. He definatly has the skills to dominate Froch, and beat Bute I just need to see them be put on display.

            Yeah, but while earlier in his career I could argue Marquez right now he is almostt purely an offensive fighter, relying on his counter punching to offset his defensive shortcomings. He doesn't fight every single way, like Ward has been.

            Marquez is certainly a better fighter than Ward, but not a more complete one.

                To be complete you should be a good finisher or atleast have some decent power, he does not own any of these attributes.

                  Sergio's inside game is weak compared to Ward's nor is he a noted body puncher. And list these other BUNCH of guys....

                    I know people don't like Ward but lets be honest, the guy is very good and is probably going to be one of the best fighters in the world for another 10 years or so. He has the style and skills to beat anyone and his style and skills also translate to longevity. Right now I think Sergio Martinez is a more complete fighter.

                      If he can get by Froch and Bute, he's going to have a solid claim on at least the top 2 or 3 in the sport, maybe the best if Pac, Mayweather or Martinez don't do much in the meantime.
