please name 10 fighters that you feel are complete fighters

[scottishwhiskey]

Mark Too Sharp Johnson
James Toney (Prime and In Shape)

Today: Floyd Mayweather, possibly Rigondeaux but he is only 10 fights in.

[scottishwhiskey]

oh yeah actually Marvin Hagler is probably one of the most complete ever, he can box, fight inside, walk someone down, and switch stances in the middle of putting togethor combinations, and very fundamentally sound in his very prime.

Mark Johnson is like a smaller, more of a pure boxer version of Marvin Hagler.

[johnm is...]

Perfect fighter? Ray robinson

Not quite.

[crold1]

mayweather
ward
vlad klitchsko

thats all i got

EDIT: how could i forget marquez

Anslemo Moreno is complete. can win with his legs, can go inside like a beast, butter for foes to hit, and has a beard.

[Sweet Pea 50]

Jab, hand speed, chin, killer instinct, punching power, inside, outside, fight through adversity, fight anyone.

Meh.

Might have named one.

But it's like trying to make a video game fighter.

[KnockUTheFukOut]

oh your talking about "ALL TIME"?

Ok then:

JOE GANS!!!
Ray Robinson
Roberto Duran-(the nick name is so misleading, Duran was more then just Power and Toughness, as evident in the 1st Ray Leonard fight when he basically out-boxed Ray Leonard)

Ray Leonard
Ezzard Charles
Charley Burley
Marvin Hagler-(again like Duran, the biggest misconception about Hagler is that he was "JUST A BRAWLER")
Archie Moore
LARRY HOLMES-(maybe some people still hold some what of a grudge toward Holmes for his match against a Washed Up Ali or something but his name does not get mentioned enough when people talk about COMPLETE BOXERS AND OUTSTANDING BOXING SKILLS IN GENERAL!)

Floyd Mayweather Jr.

im totally missing your definition of complete. mine being fighters that do everything very well. u can find a flaw in just about any fighter.

Wlad can't fight on the inside. On the outside he can control a fight, on the inside he needs to hold.

[Syf]

ur still missing the point. under ur definition, there is no such thing as a complete fighter. and theres no need for a tantrum or to be butthurt because u didn't know what spoiling meant.

no, no. You said a complete fighter does "everything" well. Everything is an all encompassing term. It seems to me you don't have a clear idea what complete means, even to yourself. If someone weren't charitable towards you, they could easily nitpick your words all day instead of addressing what you are actually trying to ****in say.

Hey, that's how you and boy wonder (who consequently said he disowned Mayweather because he cherry picked Cotto...so laughable that a grown man thinks he can disown a boxer that doesn't even know him) wanted to do me, so that's how it feels when the shoe is on the other foot, dude.

Just like a Bradley fan to give a substandard performance ,comparably, and depend on a mere technicality for the W.

[Malius]

No one mentioning Charlie Z?

[#1Assassin]

Mayweather- doesn't finish
Ward- power issues


Wlad have chin issues
Marquez is most effective counterpunching.. He has fits when he actually has to walk someone down.

Really this is a matter of opinion because a flaw could be found in even the very best.

thats not what complete means.

ward has enough power to get your attention, enough that you cant walk through his punches. he doesnt need more than that to be a complete fighter.

mayweather knows how to finish, thats enough. the fact that he often chooses not to take risks to finish doesnt make him incomplete.

wlads chin is good enough, again you dont have to have bailey like power or a margarito like chin to be complete. we have seen wlad take flush punches, he has an above average chin which is good enough. he isnt complete as a fighter though, but its bcuz he cant fight on the inside not bcuz of his chin.

marquez doesnt have fits when he has to walk someone down at all. do you base that on the mayweather fight alone? counterpunching is the style he performs best with, he can fight in any style though. marquez is complete just like ward and mayweather.

hopkins in his prime was one of the most complete fighters i ever seen, age obviously caught up with him and erased some of those abilities so he isnt that complete today. i still think hes worth mentioning though.

lamont peterson was very complete for a young fighter. could fight at any range and tempo, box, brawl, lead, counter etc..
