List the most complete fighters you've seen
Collapse

Floyd and Hopkins are both lacking in offense.
low work rate. low power.
that automatically excludes them from the most COMPLETE list. Their defense is great but weak offense.
They are on the same level as Pacquiao in terms of complete set. Pacquiao has more power, higher activity and way better combinations but he's weaker on defense.
A guy like Vitali is perfect. Highest KO ratio in history but never been down in his entire career. That is a truly complete fighter.Comment

Floyd has a 62% KO ratio. He's not the hardest puncher but the guy can definitely hit. His sound defense and excellent timing more than make up for whatever he may lack in power. You can't stay undefeated in 5 weightclasses without being a complete fighter.That list is ******. You said COMPLETE fighters, that means, speed of hand, power, footwork, speed of feet, defense, etc.
Mayweather is a great fighter and so is Pep, but they are NOT complete, they don't (didn't for Pep) punch hard. That takes away of being complete. Seems to me like your just listing your favorite fighters ever.
As for complete fighters to me are Ricardo Lopez, Sugar Ray Robinson, and Mark Johnson.Comment

Who said power alone wins fight? You asked for complete fighters and I said to be complete you have to have power, otherwise it's not "complete." The majority of the list IS ******, Mayweather at #1? Come on. He might be greater than Lopez, but that doesn't make him "complete." He complete excels in the skills he has, but he is not complete.Comment

Yeah yeah, whatever. I'm not here to discuss how GREAT Floyd is, I'm here to discuss "complete" fighters and Mayweather isn't one of them.Comment

Funny you say that because the guy has been considered one of the best (if not the best) pound for pound fighters in the sport for most of his career. None of the guys you listed can say the same. A guy with a 62% KO ratio is not a guy who lacks power. If you want a guy who lacks power look up Paulie Malignaggi.Comment
