    Is Mayweather the most well-rounded fighter ever?

    His power is good
    Defense is ATG
    Footwork is good, especially in lower weights
    Ring Generalship is elite
    Offense is ridiculously economical
    Always in fighting shape

    Anyone else that carries attributes in a way as adequate as Mayweather does?

        Hes solid, but there are others with other things that leave Floyd in the dust.

          No he's just super adaptable.
          He is right now close to a pure counter-puncher you can get to after Toney in his prime, but he can adapt extremely well to his opponents

            He was a little inconsistent, still love me some JT though.

              Any one in particular? Ray Leonard is pretty good too.

                Really? He was walking Marquez, Ortiz, and Mosley down the last time I saw him fighting.

                  I'd say he's up there in that regard.

                    Something he should do more often. He could have ko'd Mosley any time after like the sixth round. I think he was just a little leery of Mosley's huge punching power. He could have easily stopped Marquez as well, had he stepped on the gas pedal. And neither of those two have been stopped, despite being in there with some huge punchers throughout their careers.

                    Floyd is extremely well-rounded. My only knock on him, is that he doesn't let his hands go more. He opts for the pot-shot approach a little too much for me. If he fought everyone the way he fought Gatti, he'd EASILY be the ATG.
