    Sugar Ray Leonard had speed, ring smarts, power, chin, skills, charisma, and athleticism.

    I would argue that Ricardo Lopez was a very complete fighter however the level of competition he faced was weak.

    I think that Chavez, Duran, Sugar Ray Robinson, Ali, Whitaker, and a Young Tyson are also on my list. The question is real tough it is like answering the question of which son do you love the most. I personally never liked Leonard.

    To me Chavez may not fit the definition of complete but he is in my mind the fighter that came closest to being invincible.

    Roy Jones,... was unbeatable until he was 35... hardly lost many rounds against world class opposition.

    Had great defences, considered to have an excellent chin until post RUIZ, amazing speed Power , combinations.

    Everyone says when roys reflexes slowed down he couldnt tak e a punch.

    Thats BS...do we say Leanords heart went ...when he got beat by Norris and Hector Comacho???no ...he got old..


    Jones worked extremely hard to fight like he did, His father tortured him to get to that level of genius
