    WHo, Who, Who, Who, why are you naming someone who didn't do anything in boxing, no one knows him, no ones seem him fight, your just trying to pull out obscure names and why, why, why






































    Just because he's Sugar Ray's dad :D

    "technique, speed, chin, power, stamina, heart, ring smarts?"


    Archie Moore had all of that in abundance.

    Tunney and Ray Leonard stand out for me, they were really complete fighters, and it shows in how they lost - it takes an ATG really doing their best to beat them, and even then it's a hard-fought victory. Take Leonard Hagler or Tunney Dempsey, they really tailored the fight plan to the opponent, it's hard to imagine a Roberto Duran, Ezzard Charles, or even SRR being so flexible.

    Ray Robinson-U name it, he could do it all. And look like a matinee idol DOING IT !
    Benny Leonard, the lightweight answer to Robinson.
    Gene Tunney- Smart, great boxer, great pair of wheels,and a hurtiung puncher !
    Ezzard Charles- as a rising middleweight and Light Heavyweight, had everything.
    Ray Leonard- He could box, hit, and move,but the above fighters did it much longer.
    Roberto Duran- Vicious puncher, underated boxer,with a Dempsey attitude !
    Jack Dempsey-for a heavyweight, before going Hollywood, to live the good life, was as fast as a welterweight in his movements, a great bob and weave defense,chin tucked in his shoulder,coil-like punching power, with a will to CONQUER, seldom equalled !
    Eder Jofre- Was considered about the equal of Ray Robinson in his day.Great all-around
    fighter...

    I don't think there is 1 anyway - Robinson/Leonard for instance both have defensive weaknesses
