The Most Complete Boxer Ever

[adeelkhan]

yes he was

[Pugilist89]

Lennox Lewis was far more complete than Sugar Ray Robinson. Lewis had one punch KO Power and could do finesse boxing, and could brawl

SRR was a great boxer who could move and box with the best AND he could knock an opponent out with one punch from either fist. Check out the kos of Graziano and Olsen as two examples. One punch kos with right and left fists.

Evander Holyfield. Could box with the best, attacking and/ moving. Slick, could use the ol' philly shell or conventional guard. Later on developed a great clinch game, unbelievably being able to grapple with giants while only being 210-220lb former cruiserweight with chicken legs.

And of course he could brawl with almost anybody, being a killer once he smelt blood. Combinations after combinations untill the ref saved the opponent.

And look at his attributes. ATG chin, ATG heart, ATG stamina, highly athletic and fast both with hands and feet, solid punching power etc. There was a good reason that any coach would do well with Evander even by giving him a different boxing style, and that the man lasted so long still winning titles while his body was shot.

Evander is way up there in this discussion. Definitely my number 1 pick for most complete HW.

He took massive amounts of drugs that increases endurance and cardio.

To think I was going to quote your earlier post giving you props for mentioning Lennox Lewis.

Dodged a bullet there, you never know if you're dealing with a particularly dumb person untill you see more of them.

It’s very true that Holy as well as most all top heavyweights since the 1990’s we’re heavily juiced. This should always be an asterisk when comparing vs past greats who did not have the luxury of modern science and fought legit.

Oh stop it. Lennox Lewis did not take growth hormone. If Lewis had been American people in here would have been praising him as a modern day Joe Louis. He whooped Holyfield twice, robbed once in one the biggest scandals in modern boxing. Holy barely landed on him but somehow was victorious according to one of the judges in their first match

Sorry for pointing out how his drugs affect precisely the things you are praising him for.
