        I read that wrong . but yeah I would hope DLH isn't in your top 3, but I could see him in my top 10 complete fighters. he faced quality opposition, he wasn't too bad of a fighter. he just punked out against tito and bhop, but w/e

          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'

            by saying complete I mean well rounded in offense,defense, chin, stamina, footwork, reflexes, and handspeed.

            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.

              Ali was very close to being a complete fighter.

              MArvin Hagler was pretty close to being a complete fighter early in his career.

              Of course Ray Robinson.

                      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.

                      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.
