Who is a "complete package" fighter?

[ykdadamaja]

On the thread of Who to train: Wilder or AJ, @TitoFan stated that AJ is NOT a complete package fighter yet. I think he is. But, it got me to thinking: Who out there IS a complete package fighter and how do we classify that?

I would say GGG, Crawford, Ward and Canelo are "Complete Package" fighters. They can do anything. Who else would you classify as a complete package?

James Toney, Bernard Hopkins, Joe Calzaghe, Ali and Barrera. They all evolved and adapted their styles so that by the end they could do pretty much anything. They could box or go to war, but they could do it all. All very different fighters though.

By contrast, I think Tyson, though excellent, did what he did and that was all there was. He could slow it down to go the distance, but it was always the same. You never saw him win a fight with a jab alone or move to a decision, or use the ropes very much. I think of Hatton in the same kind of way. There was no evolution as such, but what they did was excellent for the job most of the time in their pomp.

I think OP is asking about current fighters.

Current: any of the top P4P guys could make a case. Finito was the complete package.

Yes, perfect in every way. Flawless.
