Most complete fighter ever

Emile Griffith.

 

toney-barkley is one of my favourite fights, performances and toney on that night was the 2nd best 168 pounder ever and one of the best of his era

 

i'll throw 160-175 pounder ezzard charles into the mix. he had everything and really should give robinson more competition for greatest all time

 

I know people are going to fry me for this but floyd mayweather has to be like top 10-15 as far as being most "COMPLETE"

maybe not most accomplished but this guy can do it all from a technical standpoint

 

Toney's handspeed that night would make Calzaghe cry.

Truly a great performance.

 

Yeah couldn't agree more with you there, charles espically at 175 is as complete as they come, his performance vs Lloyd Marshall is one of the best i've seen on film

 

:goodhandspeed, accuracy, precison, combinations, sublime defense. calzaghe would bring nothing to the table except good footwork and a bad corner

 

good pick on the performance! having seen that one in ages. btw: why does a celtic fan have a pic of john hartson??:tong

 

Ok, well I guess we can all change our opinions to "James Toney at 160-168" now.

 

haha, brilliant but still not in the same league as duran, charles, robinson and lopez

 

Lopez never really showed he could in fight.

He is up there in terms of completeness but I think the fact he proved himself against a far lower calibre of opposition then the others mentioned means you cant definitively say he is anymore complete.

Id give Leonard a shout. Him against Benitez is just about as complete as Ive ever seen a fighter.

while i respectfully with the first part, the second part is bang on

 

Of course not, but JT can be mentioned among these great dudes

 

Sugar Ray Leonard easily. Not even close.
