Is Mayweather the most well-rounded fighter ever?

[Poet682006]

IMO not comparing legacy or greatness.. Ricardo Lopez was more skilled.
Although he did suffer from somewhat of a poor division.

then again i'm biased due to Finito being 1 of my all time favorite fighters.

Lopez was a hell of a fighter. I might be able to come up with a few who were more skilled p4p but not very many that's for certain. He's a legit p4p great.

If you have another fighter in mind who was..then you're wrong

Floyd is the product of evolution. He is almost perfect.

he wasn't walking Marquez down....


and I'd say Julio Cesar Chavez was more well rounded.

Incredible offense both upstairs and to the body
Real power.
Superb chin
underrated defense
a lot of heart
great technician
great finisher
great stamina

theres no way chavez was more well rounded than floyd. greater, yes, more well rounded, no. u

no. Because he was never a puncher. Even in the lower weights he was so fast he could drop you but still didn't **** that well.

Mayweather can't knock you out and he can't put good combinations together. His workrate is low as well.

He's not well rounded he's just one of the best counter punchers and defensive fighters ever. That's about it.

Duran, Hagler and Leonard were much more well rounded.

Duran was fast, could put combinations together, hit hard, had a iron chin, tons of stamina, high workrate, excellent defense, could attack and counter punch.

Mayweather is limited but it's a good limitation, very hard to out box.

I will also say Floyd is a champion and has heart, he'll fight all 12 rounds.

Did not flunk anything at anytime. You must be mistaking me for one of your peers.

Anyways...I speak the truth.

Actually, he was. He gave prime Whitaker all he could handle regardless what the Americans say. They should have had a rematch.

Chavez was extremely well rounded. Floyd is a better counter puncher than him, and has better defense. Thats it. Chavez could **** better, threw more punches, had a better chin, better combinations and wasn't lacking in the other 2 categories either.

Chavez vs Floyd at 140 = good fight

But you can't argue this point by combining the skills of many. Actually the only thing that floyd does not do well is letting his hands go. Not that he doesn't do it but I THINK he always comes out on the loosing end of those exchanges. But i still say he is the most well rounded boxer ever.
