    For me, Salavador Sanchez had speed, power, ring smarts, great sideways and in-and-out movement, stamina and an iron chiin. He comes very close IMO.

    Who do you think fits the bill?


    :?:?

    I would say Ricardo Lopez, not so much for his athleticism but how technical of a fighter he was which showed in his matches.

    B-Hopkins can do it all.
    Of course Ray Robinson.

    What was he missing in his prime?

    Robinson, Ray Leonard, and Duran are the best and most complete fighters I have ever seen.

    I've seen almost all of his fights. Lopez was as technically proficient as anyone in the history of the sport, but he rarely showed an inside game and was never really tested against the kind of competition the other fighters mentioned were.

    While Hopkins didn't excel in as many areas as someone like Robinson or Duran, he wasn't lacking in any one area either. Hopkins at his peak was a very complete fighter.

    Leonard, Ali and Monzon are the three that comes to mind.

    Duran shgould not be mentioned. He is in no means technically perfect. His strong points are other ones.

    The best fighters I have ever seen are Pernell Whitaker, Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran.

    But there are a raft of others that look sensational as well: Ali, Pep, Olivares, Hagler, Gomez, Hopkins, Roy Jones, too many to mention.
