Worst

Foreman's jab the weakest ?? you have to be kidding me ?? Foreman had very good jab in his 2nd career.

Anyway heres my list.

Longevity = Joe Louis
Jab = Larry Holmes
Footwork = Muhammad Ali
Combinations = Mike Tyson
Speed = Floyd Patterson
Power = Earnie Shavers
Heart = Evander Holyfield
Chin = George Foreman In His 2nd Career

But IMO you just need Mike Tyson with Rocky Marciano's heart.
Or Muhammad Ali with Earnie Shavers Power.

And you have two complete Heavyweights.
