    If Bradley had the physical talent to compete at the elite level, I'd mention him

    Canelo has a lot of potential, he just needs to sharpen what he already has and we'll see

    JCC Jr same situation as Canelo
    Khan, another guy with poor defense.

    JCC Jr, poor defense slow handspeed, poor footwork.

    Bradley has no power.

    Gamboa has improved immensely and boxes more now, he's getting hit less and less as his opposition rises. It's crazy to go from getting KD'ed a lot against poor opposition, to getting better and less reckless against better fighters. I would say Gamboa is definitely up there with the complete fighters, though his defense has a lot to do with reflexes, not exactly basic fundamentals of blocking, holding/smothering.

        James Toney..

        Can beat you up on the inside; Solid power at close range
        Was difficult to hit with his slippling and rolling away from punches - One of those fighters that can box in a phone booth
        Had hand speed and could put together combinations
        Good chin
        At times would use his jab and box from the outside like he did against Barkley

        Only weakness was he fought down to his competition and would get lazy at times.

          There's no thing as a complete fighter because one fighter can't do and be everything.

          but the closest i've ever seen to a complete fighter is pernell whitaker. And if I didn't watch whitaker beat him, Julio cesar chavez would have had his spot.

          Prime Mike tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Meldrick Taylor, Floyd Mayweather Jr, James Tony, prime Berard Hopkins also are close

            Do you know what a complete fighter is.

            Good defense? Lee landed more punches on him than he landed. And Lee has very poor defense.

              There's no such thing as a complete fighter. There's fighters that may lack one aspect and those are some of the fighters being named in this thread.

              If you say fighter x is not eligible to be on the list because he lacks in the x department, then you can't list Mayweather because he doesn't have much power.

                  That doesn't make him not complete. Power is not something that you do, it's a physical ability.
                  Power comes from more than just strength. Its an ability to generate momentum and leverage and torque. Its utilizing the entire body to deliver all of its potential energy and force into the delivering fist.

                  Trust me, punching with power is mostly a gift but it can also be an acquired skill. If it was just a physical ability Bradley would be like Tyson in there.

                    amir khan is nowhere near being a complete fighter. in fact, hes one of the most flawed fighters outta the bunch mentioned in this thread.
