    Who do you think is the best fighter ever in terms of overall skills? Who is the most complete fighter?

    Off the top of my head.. Holyfield . Even with questionable tactics at times he was a blend of a near perfect fighter who could go in any direction and also switch up either an offensive style or counter puncher, there wasn't one punch he didn't throw either.

    Joe Calzaghe was A level in every department.
    (Including punch power, he had a very high KO ratio before his hands went)

    I dunno if he'd be #1 overall, but Carlos Ortiz is definitely up there amongst the most skilled of all time.

    LMFAOOOOOO @ Calzaghe.
