Classic ESBers- your input would be very appreciated

No problem. I tried to give you a wide range of eras and weights instead of just a couple eras, but like BE said a thread pages long could be made about each of these categories. Just have to do it off the dome.

Bump for this little gem.

 

(1) best jab : H2H will go to the tall ones : Vitali , Lewis , Wladimir , Ali , Holmes , Hearns , McCallum etc.
P4P is another thing
(2) handspeed : Roy Jones , Zab Judah , Manny Pacquiao
(3) punching power : H2H : David Tua , George Foreman , Oliver McCall
P4P : Earnie Shavers , Julian Jackson , Sam Langford
(4) Hook : H2H : Tua , Tyson , Frazier
(5) Ring generalship : Ray Leonard , Roy Jones , James Toney
(6) chin / punch resistance
H2H : Oliver McCall , George Chuvalo , David Tua
P4P : James Toney , Sam Langford , Merqui Sosa
(7) Defense : James Toney , Chris Byrd , Orlin Norris
(8) Reflexes / timing : Roy Jones , Floyd Mayweather Jr. , Shane Mosley
(9) countering ability : Roy Jones , James Toney , Jersey Joe Walcott
(10) Heart : Evander Holyfield , James Toney , Joe Frazier

I believe that if there were more videotaped records of Langford he would have appeared in the Heart , countering ability , defense and almost every department here as well , because there are reasons for everything

 

Frazier/Holyfield

Keep in mind there are many who combine exceptional combinations of these catagories and there are more than one answer for most. I tried to limit them to one each but couldn't seperete Holyfield and Frazier on heart.
