JC is a complete fighter but is on the slide now and has not shown power in years so i am going to put Cotto OH and BENN was not even 1/2 a complete fighter he is the reason why we say punchers chance
past...i would definetly go for joe louis...so clinical present - dunno..maybe mayweather / hopkins...neither at all like joe loius in their styles...but both great defensive artists...
For all of you saying Cotto please. The guy has, low ring IQ, poor defense, bad stamina and chin. He's far from complete.:deal
Pacquiao is the most complete fighter today. Speed, technique, power, movement, defence, offence, stamina. Ever? it would have to be SRR no?
So, Durans inability to take a Hearns right hand or match handspeed with Leonard should exclude him ? :huh No fighter is 100% perfect, thats why we say MOST complete. The very fact that Robinson COULD infight even tho he might not have been the best ever infighter (he certainly was not bad at it) should be more of a + than a -. Robinson was more complete than Duran, he had more attributes & IMO was the most complete fighter ever, period. :thumbsup
I would say robinson or ANY welter/middle would have an inability to take the punch that hearns caught duran with. I doubt even MMH could take that clean,especially since the punch was unseen and cleanly landed as well...
either way Duran wasn't exactly at his best in that fight. Without wanting to take any credit from Hearns. Duran has taken some pretty big shots in his career. His ability to take a shot should not be in doubt.
