    Who are the guys that spring to mind who could do it all? Guys who could box with a high level of technical skill, punch hard and knock opponents out with either hand, fight on the inside or outside and had decent defense too?

    The way he stood in the pocket against a terrific puncher like Colin Jones was highly impressive to me!

    Out of those not yet mentioned Ezzard Charles has a helluva lot of game!!!!!

    I personally have always thought Sandy Saddler is a little underrated in the all around aspect of things.

    Early Wilfredo Gomez was quite complete as well.
