    Who and What makes them so complete?

    Greatest, Best, and most complete are not the same thing.

    Sugar Ray Robinson… speed, power, great footwork, great technique, ring IQ, seamless transition between offense and defense, great heart.

    Before he messed up his hands, it was Joe Calzaghe.

    Think about it..Blazingly fast hand and foot speed, iron chin. Power in both fist, unmatched Boxing IQ..
    The only thing was he liked to brawl too much.

    power is overrated....

    many things contribute to ko power that are completely intangible...

    and its far harder to knock someone out in this day and age than it was 20years ago....

    day early weigh ins have been a major contributing factor.... 12rd limit etc.
