    What is a "complete fighter" anyway? No fighter can do everything in there, they all have weaknesses and their own style. Does Mayweather need to go and look for some opponent whose freakin' omnipotent or something? Because that guy really isn't out there.

    I agree with whoever posted that ODLH is a pretty complete fighter. He has a decent punch, good speed, excellent jab, great chin, he can box and defend well and he can also fight hard if need be. That's about as all-round as it gets, folks.

    SRR is the the prototype for Complete fighter (And even he had some flaws, like getting older...)


    JLC was a complete fighter as a in/brawler type.
    he was a complete toe to toe fighter.

    but I agree with the poster who said that all fighters lack that one thing to make them a complete fighter. there is no perfection in Boxing.
    anyone can and will be defeated. (Except Rocky).

    Some questions to continue discution:

    1. Is current P4P leader is a complete fighter?
    2. Was Toney a complete fighter at the time RJJ defeated him?
    3. What complete fighters SRR defeated?

    I reply myself to 1 & 2

    1. No: if he needs to raise tempo to win technically better opponent he fails - he just can't do that.
    2. No: overwise he wouldn't loose badly.

    There's complete, and then there's perfect, and nobody is perfect. PBF himself is complete.

    Do you consider Chavez, Chico and ODLH to be complete?

    With all your post and you say some gay **** like that lame. What I mean is somebody who has multiple assest like him not really one Dimensional, some one said Hoya, but he is way past it. Was Hernedez a complete fighter.

    Floyd must be ashamed that he never fought himself.

    Yep

    Well, you're never going to consider a fighter complete when he loses, because he obviously lacked something during the fight.

    What the hell is a "complete" fighter anyway? Someone that is supreme in absolutely every aspect possible? I doubt someone like that really exists. You could always say this or that about some aspect of their game. People fight to their own strengths to maximise what they're good at.
