Most complete active fighters in the sport?

Who the hell cares about the amateurs? Audley Harrison won a gold medal in the amateurs

Wlad? LOL....the guy can't fight on the inside to save his ***ing life. You're trolling now.

Nah. I didn't list Wlad in the OP for a reason. I'm not saying he's a complete fighter.....


In that post I was saying he's the closest thing to a "perfect" or "flawless" fighter as there is today. Nobody else has perfected the sweet science like he has on his most recant championship crusade and win streak and he has hidden his flaws... flawlessly

Yeah I mean clinching the **** out of fat bums on the inside is the perfect example of the sweet science in full flow

Even the biggest Wlad hater cannot argue with the great showing of the sweet science he has put on full display in his most recent run.


Also... the man is fighting back-to-back #2 and #3 HWs in the world. They're not fat. Pulev and Povetkin are competitive in any era and are Olympic gold medalists.


Furthermore.... Povetkin was in fantastic shape against Takam and in the best shape of his life finally. And clinhing is part of the game. If you can't handle the heat get out the kitchen

Look at that beautiful example of the sweet science in full effect

So that's where the Khan question came in. Mario Kindelan was about the highest level of opposition you could hope to face in a vest. Khan has a win over him and an Olympic silver medal to boot. That's more than Sergey achieved and matches the top honour that Golovkin has.

Khan beat Kindelan in an exhibition in Bolton after Kindelan had essentially retired. I wouldn't read that much into it.

Martin fuckin' Murray?

I'm astounded, what the fuck are you smoking...

Kell Brook shouldn't even be there but he's a pugilistic maestro compared to Murray.

[bojangles1987]

Mayweather and Roman Gonzalez are the most complete fighters in boxing IMO.

This will read weird, but Tim Bradley is a poor man's complete fighter. He can do everything at a competent level, but none of it exceptionally.

[just the facts]

I forgot Floyd, Rigo, Martin Murray and Bernard Hopkins. Gonna add them now.


Who else?

Martin effing Murray????? I think you're trying to make your heros (GGG) next fight sound like it's more than the cherry pick it is. Martin Murray ! GTFOH

[just the facts]

Both have them have very solid and subtle defense, you just can;'t notice it because they're destroying opponents while trying to please the crowd.


You don't have over 300 amateur victories without an ability to box. They can both box going backward, you just haven't saw them have to do it because they go for the kill and try to fight to please the fans. DO you think either of them could of made it in America without fighting how they do? They do it cause they have to and they're good at it.... but it's not all they can do.

Abel Sanchez said it best: "When I got Golovkin... he was a boxer, but that wouldn't work with the American fans. We had to change his style to make him a star."


And Max Kellerman said himself that Kovalev has good defense for the style he has, the best a guy with his style could possibly have


That's why these two are on the list..... Hell GGG and Kovalev are THE TWO most complete fighters in the sport.

GGG and Kovalev are the 2 most complete fighters???? You must be posting for shock value because even with your blind hero worship, you're not dumb enough to believe this

[just the facts]

It's not as simple as "boxing ability"



Kovalev and Golovkin have elite boxing skills. They can fight on the inside and the outside. Combine that with their constant KO's. Those two have the most complete skill-sets in the sport, but this is just my opinion. Many, many people agree with me, though

where are these many, many people?
