    Sam Langford
    Benny Leonard
    Joe Louis
    Ray Robinson
    Roberto Duran
    Ray Leonard (god, that hurts to admit)
    Lennox Lewis

    there are other all time great fighters, but these I feel are the most well-rounded, which I am assuming is what is meant by complete.

    Ricardo Lopez and Orlando Canizales are two names which spring to my mind instantly.

    I guess Fullmer didn't have a chin because Robinson destroyed him.
