Most complete active fighters in the sport?

It is too hard to make a list like this, as elite fighters only have to fight a certain way, to beat most common type opponents.
I mean lets take 2 of them as examples. Floyd, right now, in his last couple fights with Maidana, appears to get roughed up some by a fairly basic fighter. If you look closely though, he is not getting beat up really, and seems to be only fighting in first gear, and still coasts easily to the win. I think he could have stopped Maidana in that second fight, but seems to just prefer to stay in first gear, probably in respect to Maidana's raw power. You can tell just from watching him he has much much more, if he wanted to. But, if you watch Floyd vs Canelo, you see so much more of his game. He was beating up Canelo in every facet he tried, changed it up constantly and kept Canelo frustrated and guessing.
Then there is Golovkin. We have only seen basically the same thing from him each time. Methodical beatdowns of over matched opponents. In the time since he hit our local airwaves on HBO, I have been waiting for this dude to even lose a round. He looks like he is in first gear, like it is a casual day in the office. His opponents meanwhile just cannot seem to cope. I can tell Golovkin has more gears and can see plain as day that he is a thinking fighter. It is called the eye ball test. He certainly needs to prove more, but his weight class will not provide that for him. Everyone says he shows no ability to box on the back foot. Well why would he when his opponents are running frantically away from him? I cannot say GGG is a complete fighter, but cannot say he isn't either, but he does LOOK to have much more to his game, but does not need to show it yet. His trainer was disappointed with him in his last fight with Rubio. Sanchez said he wanted GGG to beat Rubio up on the inside and have fun for a few rounds, but it ended too quickly.

Rigo, no one is close when considering Methods & Techniques!
If he would press more than he does he could capture more interest but Cubano's are stubborn and he isn't going to step up the way people would like him to.
No one is close to this guys skill level, no one!!
