There were a few important flaws in Robinson.
We could actually start a thread about this and we could rattle out a good debate, but I'm just about to finish work.
If you are here to ask me again tomorrow I'll explain the logic behind my statement.
As for a more complete fighter.
Off the top of my head Pernell Whittaker.

The problem is unless your old as dirt you wouldn't have seen a prime Robinson, because there is no footage of him at Welterweight. I think these fighters had the complete package.
Salvador Sanchez
Alexis Arguello
Ricardo Lopez
Floyd Mayweather Jr
Roy Jones Jr
Pernell Whitaker
Just a quick list but i consider those fighters to have the complete package.
From what i have seen which is a slightly off peak Robinson its the best, Heart, Power, speed, Chin, Desire, Footwork.
I agree Pernell is a great fighter but he lacks power.
Fuk it i`ll start a thread.

Roy was great but he was by no means a complete fighter... He had athletisism that this sport had never seen before him..
Jones wasnt textbook fundamentals and technical ability with his offense or drfense.. If Roy worked on fundamentals 1st and Athletsism 2nd like Floyd does he would have never been sparked by Tarver.. It has taken Jones a few years to evolve into a better pure Boxer now that his reflexes have diminished he seems comfortable in the ring again and has 2 great fights left in him

I think you slightly misunderstood what i meant JT i meant just attribute wise he is a complete fighter like, Power, Speed, Slickness, Footwork etc. Never would i make out he is a textbook fighter because he isn't, all the time i've been boxing i've never tried anything that Jones Jr does because he is a one off and we might never see another Roy Jones Jr in our life time, but i agree Mayweather Jr is a textbook complete fighter and at Super Featherweight he had the power which made him even more dangerous.

Imagine a textbook Roy... My God it wouldnt ever been close with anybody... The amount of natural ability that man has is baffling... Like I staed already even if he was weight drained and suffering with the weight loss from Heavy, if he was a better technical Boxer he would have been able to compensate for his deterioration and would have never been KO'D by Johnson or Tarver
