Is Mayweather the most well-rounded fighter ever?

[mathed]

Whitaker, Leonard, Robinson all snuff Floyd for starters

I agree, and man Ezzard Charles could do it all it seemed, transitioned from defense to offense so perfectly.

I'd also add Roberto Duran and Ricardo Lopez to that list. And some people may disagree but I always thought Pernell Whitaker was a freakishly complete boxer (his only flaw of course was his lack of power).

His power is horribly under-rated though, he still packed a good punch.

PBF is ONE of the most well rounded ever.. im not really sure IF HE IS THE most well rounded ever in this more than a century old sport that we all love...

[Imhotep]

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?

At 130 Floyd is one of the most if not the most well rounded fighter out their cause he had alot of power to go along with his speed,Quickness,skills,smarts,good chin and great footwork.

At 147 he`s still a well rounded fighter but lost alot of power moving up in weight.

Whitaker and Leonard against Mayweather would be good match ups. Regarding Robinson have you actually seen him fight? It's not that I doubt that he would beat Floyd it's that I know that half the people who mention his name do so because they hear people throwing the name around.

People are getting beyond fucking ****** with the ''He couldn't stop Juan Manuel Marquez'' bullshit. If he committed himself to stopping Marquez then he would have, he was landing shots at will and could have upped his work rate but chose to take it to the distance. Anyone with half a brain would realise that.

I prefer Pernell but that's just me.

you dont know what the hell you are talking about

he "chose to take it to the distance?"
you actually believe that?
are you high?


if for nothing else (and there's plenty,) stopping marquez would have been better for business


christ. some of you guys are completely hopeless

i cant fathom what possible reasons you're going to give, but lets hear them:


WHY ?
why would he do that?


i cant wait to see what you come up with

[F l i c k e r]

New England trolling.
