    Mike McCallum, based on versatile skills, could do it all.

    Roy, lennox, marvin are not masters of versatality my friend. Watched all three guys. Take the blinkers off!! Mccallum? , the same guy that struggled badly with graham & kalambay? Pac, is versatile though. The only guy in boxing history to do a diving header head first into a punch!!!!

    Both Hopkins and Floyd can box at range and fight in close. That qualifies as multi-dimensional. Roman Gonzalez can do so as well, and therefore qualifies, too.

    Struggling with Kalumbay in particular and Graham shouldn't be considered too much of a black mark given that both were extremely good and tricky boxers in their own right. McCallum could get business done at multiple ranges, although he tended to operate best from mid-range.

    Who do you list as being multi-dimensional...:think

    Aaron pryor could box, but he love to pressure and brawl. 2 dimensions there.

    In their prime? Yes they could. Please don't judge fighters' abilities when they're 38 and 50 years old.

    Ever since the start of 06, Mayweather almost always fights his opponents' fight and beats them decisively doing so.

    Hopkins has done so many things in the ring to accomplish victory that he certainly applies here.

    Any of the original Fab 4, even the mini Fab 4 of Barrera, Morales, Pacquiao, and Marquez. Box as much as go to war. Sal Sanchez was originally a one dimensional brawler with good pop to his punches, all that changed with his lone loss to Becerra and draw with Escobar. Orlando Canizales one of the best ever in his prime he could box or destroy an opponent ruthlessly. Underrated technician.
