if your talking about "pure" boxing skills you would have to look at Chris Byrd. You may not like him but you can not deny his skill level. And obviously Willie Pep and Pernell Whitaker. Power and skill I say Ray Robinson, Henry Armstrong, Thomas Hearns(not counting his chin)and Michael Spinks at Lightheavy..........Rockin'Comment

by saying complete I mean well rounded in offense,defense, chin, stamina, footwork, reflexes, and handspeed.Originally posted by Rockin1if your talking about "pure" boxing skills you would have to look at Chris Byrd.

edited- yes ,hearns, one of my top five favorites. if he would've had a chin and like a good left hook I think he could've been undefeated, but the right hand was enough to make him rich at least.Last edited by Slipx; 02-07-2005, 11:05 PM.Comment

If RJJ was such a class act he would never have ducked Steve Collins, Collins was the best Super Middleweight at the time and RJJ new he couldn't beat him. Remember when collins got in the ring after one of RJJ fights and called him out and he just avoided him.Originally posted by THRILLAinMANILAIndeed RJJ was a class act during his prime, but I'd have to say his defense left much to be desired...
RJJ lost all my respect after this, it was the fight every boxing fan wanted to see and it didn't happen because of one person RJJ, you cant blame the brit this time for ducking a big fight.Comment
