    Default Most complete fighter who gets all the ticks?

    Talking about it in another thread lets get it started, my view of a complete fighter is a guy that has the following:

    Heart
    Power
    Speed
    Footwork
    Desire
    Chin

    I`ll name my top three, Ray Robinson, Marvin Habler 78-83, Muhammad Ali 64-67.

    I totally agree with Hagler in the early 80's he was pretty slick counter puncher, and is often forgotten how good his skills actually were.

    Johnny Nelson earns all the ticks.

    He showed desire coming back from a terrible start to his career. And a terrible middle period - recovering from the De Leon debacle. And showed tremendous heart to get off the floor to KO Sellers and beat Cantatore in Italy.

    He's shown plenty of speed, footwork and power - stopping warriors like Andries and Thompson.

    And his chin - the record speaks for itself. Fact.

    Not really. Almost all great/semi-great/quality fighters share those attributes.

    The perfect fighter doesn't exist.

    Roy Jones wouldn't be Roy Jones if he wasn't different

    I'll go with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Can't really remember him having a flaw.

    Probably the only one is that he sometimes lay's on the ropes a bit too much.

    Question for you JT do you consider Holyfield a complete fighter at Heavyweight as well ?? and as for McClellan i think he ticks most boxes except for his defense which was the weakest part of his boxing IMO. But he did have a granite chin those over hand rights he took from Jackson would of KO'ed some Heavyweights.

    Absolutely.. Holyfield at Heavy gets all the ticks from me, he didnt have blazing fast hands but you can ring him up in everyother category

    Gman chose not to use his defense half the time unfortunately... He was a very underrated Boxer but to me he meets all those categories

    I think the only thing he lacked was true Heavyweight punching power, but saying that wasn't he the first man to drop iron chinned Ray Mercer and turn that fight around ?? he also knocked down Riddick Bowe with one punch, and put iron chinned Mike Tyson down with 1 punch as well. So actually my first comment could be completely wrong. The thing i loved about Holyfield was his counter punching when he used his boxing skills instead of brawling, he was masterful to watch, as for Gman i've seen a lot of his fights and i do agree he had underrated boxing skills, but i still think his defense could have been better but other than like i said he ticks most of the boxes.

    Roberto Duran...he was a great great boxer...he did have one situation where he did quit but other than that he had great heart and all the other stuff too

    Benny Leonard, Gene Tunney, Joe Louis and Hank Armstrong deserve some mentions too

    I often wonder why Ezzard Charles never gets mentioned, He was the complete Package winning the Heavy title while still a Lightheavy. forget Walcott and Marciano by then MS had set in. To me He was in the top Five ever.
