    If you could take attributes from all fighters and put them together, what is the best combination for a perfect heavyweight?
    An example of what I mean would be-
    Jab- Liston
    Straight- Wilder
    Left Hook- Frazier
    Stamina- Marciano
    Footwork- Ali
    etc. etc. etc...

    Jab - Liston/Holmes
    Straight right - Wilder/Shavers
    Right hook - Joe Louis
    Right uppercut - George Foreman
    Left hook - Wlad
    Left uppercut - Foreman/Sanders
    Size - Fury
    Reflexes - Ali
    Chin - Old Foreman
    Heart - Ali
    Foot speed - Ali
    Hand speed - Ali
    Recuperative abilities - Fury
    Stamina/endurance - Usyk/Holmes
    IQ - Ali/Holmes/Usyk

    Interesting that while I don't rank Tyson as the best at any given category, I think he came closest to the full package at his peak except of size (of course) and stamina

    Give me someone with the size of Valuev, movement of Ali, explosiveness and power perportionally of Mike Tyson, defensive style of Sweetpea, stamina of Usyk. Nobody is beating this man.
