Is Mayweather the most well-rounded fighter ever?

[eklok]

floyd is the best overall fighter

he even beat his wife

he's doing it all

thats dedication right there

[Queen_Leia]

uhh he's a pure boxer


that's a definitive no


well rounded fighters:
Ray leonard
ray robinson
joe louis
ezzard charles



floyd couldnt stop juan manuel marquez.

no one has stopped jmm...idiot!!!

[led]

Floyd also markets himself well.

[New England]

no one has stopped jmm...idiot!!!

again, that has so much more to do with his comp at WW (floyd's a WW and we're talking about that division because that's where he fought floyd.)


trinidad
hearns
armstrong
barbados walcott
cuevas
burley
prime de la hoya
leonard
robinson
napoles
walker


i'd pick all of these great fighters to bomb marquez the hell out of there, probably in the first half of the fight. a WW with real finishing abilities would stop him.
i'd pick floyd to beat some of them. but they'd stop marquez. they are all much better punchers and finishers than floyd, who is seriously lacking in that regard (evidenced by the fact that he couldn't stop a 35 year old who is blown up at LW, nevermind WW)



and even some great/very good second tier guys i think would stop marquez:
quartey
breland
curry
forrest

Garbage...Im not talking about mythical matchup and what could have been with fighters from the past....No one from JMM first fight until now has stopped him, that all concerned about.



Oh and for the record Floyd is a blown up 130 lber

[rambov]

None of you have posted someone who you think is more well rounded than Floyd

because you cannot.

Ray leonard Close But he got hit (a lot)
ray robinson ( he got hit a lot) See my previous post about fighters of yester year
joe louis ( he had no defense and got hit a lot) HA! HA!
ezzard charles ( no comment )

Yo guys are blinded by hate. Sugar Ray took jabs all day. All friggin Day. Duran did to Ray what A prime Ricky Hatton tried to do to Floyd. Wake up!!!

[turbotime]

Duran was super well-rounded. Gene Tunney as well, for his day. Arguello was another.

Hey nuthugging douchebag......your definition of "well rounded" is sounding more and more like "one-dimensional defensive specialist". There's more to boxing than negation dip****.

All of these guys are good.Really good. But they are no where as close to being as efficient as Floyd.
I like them all. But they have flaws and their opponents have been able to use it to their advantage.
The man systematically breaks people down. He lures them into thinking they are going to have success with their plan then he finds flaws in the plan and then they have no plan.

Takes punches well
Punches well
Defense
Effective offense
Check hooks
Set-up right hands
Foot work
Stamina
reflexes
Body work
Accuracy
On the Ropes
In the center of the ring

Well your eloquence has sure left the building. Tired of pretending to be a smarty pants?

Poet (lol)

A defensive specialist cant be well rounded Anus ... See Winky Wright.
