I don't think Salvador Sanchez had great one punch power, although it was better than Ali's, he tended to break guys down systematically in most of his fights.

Michael Spinks was a pretty complete fighter at LHW. I disagree with Duran though. For me a perfect fighter never does what he does in his 2nd fight with Leonard.
You might aswell say an almost perfect fighter like Muhammad Ali, wouldn't have gotten close decision win off fighters like Doug Jones. But the fact is even fighters that look unbeatable on one night, can look very beatable in another fight, even the greatest have off nights or a style that cancel's there one out. And personally i don't think Muhammad Ali is anywhere near close, to the perfect fighter by the way.
With respect,and i know everybody has their own opinion, but how can you possibly say that Ali isnt anywhere near close to being the perfect fighter? Look at his attributes; Speed,great footwork, balance, boxing ability, temperment, great jab, combinations, great right-cross, ability to take a punch, and courage. He wasnt the biggest puncher ever but he more than punched his weight (ask foreman,bonavena,liston) but most of all, when his back was to the wall, he had a will to win like i have rarely seen in the ring. its just my opinion but i would like to be informed if im wrong with any of the above
