    I have said in other threads , Ricardo is the best all round fighter I have ever seen , Power , boxing ability , can fight on front foot , can box on back foot , great chin , fights at fast pace for 12 rounds , fights inside and out , he was a joy to watch , I cant think of any other fighter with all those qualities since Robinson.

    Lopez wan an artist and have to agree on Arguello being damn near right there. Frame, footwork and intent. Whitaker compared was a bit clunky, could be flat footed in spots and souly work upper body. More so the mentality was night and day. Lopez wanted to out dance you but for the purpose of picking you apart and busting you up.

    Lopez- everything he did was textbook. Same was true of Arguello and Joe Louis, though Louis doesn't get credit for his footwork because it wasn't flashy. But he did it just like it is drawn up in the books. As did Arguello.

    A fighter can have longevity if he's well-schooled. Text-book boxing and experience may allow an older fighter to remain competitive even when his physical attributes of reflexes, speed, and stamina have left him.

    I loved watching Donald Curry he was efficient and effective boxer/puncher I have ever seen. Terry Norris was great technical fighter on his feet and quick powerful hand speed. Holyfield at cruiserweight was a joy to watch, and Tyson was exciting.

    That being said Ricardo Lopez was perfect.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Agree. Louis was a beautifully efficient puncher. Almost looked unassuming when he fought.
