    Mayweather was in Judahs grill from the opening bell. Against Marquez he started pressuring around round 8-9. Marquez looked like a cornered mouse.

    I know you havent seen the fight so here

    After Zab lost all of his stamina? Impressive you're showing me part 4 of that fight.

    He is not a pressure fighter dude. He goes on the offensive when the other guy gets tired of chasing him.

    You know nothing about boxing.

    Zab lost his stamina. :rofl You're a funny guy. It was only the 5th round chief, not even halfway through the fight btw. Zab threw 16 punches, which is what he averaged for the first 4 rounds.

    I never said he was a pressure fighter moron. I said he can become a great pressure fighter as he demostrated in the Zab, Corley and Marquez fights where he walked his man down and broke them physically and psychologically.

    Jesus kid, why do you continue to embarrass yourself?

    A few that I don't believe have been mentioned so far....Oscar De La Hoya, Bernard Hopkins, Evander Holyfield.

    I do agree that Lopez was a complete fighter,but for as great as Pernell was he was not a complete fighter, his punching power was average at best. Power is a big part of the having the whole package.

    Im a big Holyfield fan but he had lapses in his defense. Although when he wanted he was good there,but he usually he ate more shots than he had too.

    part of it is the lack of footage. i mean i've never seen a whole fight of him at middle, only a few at light heavy and most of those were past prime (and sam baroudi, RIP). if you look at his heavyweight performances they're spectacular but he wasn't the dynamo of old. his fights against burley, bivins or moore would be AMAZING to watch. especially burley

    :good I agree but sometimes hed fizz out at the end, more so towards the end of his career. In his prime he was the whole package.
    Although my pops feels that he wasnt mentally strong.

    I would say Whitaker....but he wasn't complete, he lacked power....but really is there any fighter really "complete"?
