    Ricardo Lopez is a great shout. He may not be the most complete fighter EVER, but, he was ****ing awesome, and was extremely well rounded. Really, not a single weakness. If only he had moved up to fight Chiquita Gonzalez and Carbajal. Had he done so (and won), his All Time Great status would have been significantly elevated. I was fortunate enough to have been ringside at a number of his fights in the 90s. He was poetry in motion while administering a sustained beating.

    Sugar Ray Leonard was about as complete as you could get. He was better defensively than Robinson and a little better on the inside IMO. Ezzard Charles is another that comes to mind.
