    Who are some boxers who good in every catagory. Now when I say good I don't mean great, or superb. Just good, a boxer who can do a little bit of everything, well rounded and skilled all around, whether it's fighting from the outside, and fighting from the inside. Good jab, good ring intelligence, good accuracy, good defense. Able to cut off the ring well. Goes to the body, decent reflexes, good hand speed , keeps opposition honest with their punching power. Take a good punch, and has enough heart.

    the few I came name off top is Bernard Hopkins, Floyd Mayweather, I could put Timothy Bradley...

    Hagler is obvious. SRL. Lennox lewis didn't have a great chin but he had good uppercuts on the inside and could fight dirty. Duran, Holyfield and SRR (to be honest I haven't seen too much of him so correct me if I'm wrong)

    I'd say most ATG's were at least good in pretty much every category. Being well-rounded is the only way you can reach the top level.

    Floyd Mayweather was the one that immediately came in to my head.

    Daniel Geale at the moment. Nothing fantastic, but sound every way.

    Floyd is the most well rounded boxer i have ever seen. Of course he didn't have the power, after 140.

    It's early days yet, but Mike Garcia seems pretty solid in all area's. All time though would have to be Ray Robinson

    Nonito Donaire, some question his defensive ability but his face just gets bruised easily and he never gets hit flush. He never gets wobbled because of his great chin.

    Oh ****ing please. I'm sure you are just trolling, but on the off chance you aren't, Pacquiao is the complete opposite of well rounded.

    He has good power and great hand speed, yes.

    Defense? **** no. He is notorious for getting clocked with big shots, depending way too much on his ability to take a punch. He is extremely impatient, and is known to lunge in for shots when he is way out of range, it's why he got KTFO by Marquez. He is extremely feint prone, which JMM abused against him too.

    Ring Intelligence? Yeah bull****, he is a brawler, and doesn't seem to learn from his mistakes. The same overhand right JMM used to knock him out was a punch he got hit with OVER AND OVER in all four of their fights. Literally he made no adjustments, just kept eating the same shot over and over until it finally knocked him out.

    Accuracy? He can be decently accurate against guys who don't know how to control distance, because of his hand speed... put him in with a guy who knows how to control distance and abuse feints, and Manny becomes out of control, swinging and missing wildly. Against Bradley there were countless times where he missed entire combinations by a country mile, nothing but air, wasn't close to hitting ****.

    List goes on, **** choice.
