Complete fighter as in... who have the most overall skills, offensive, defensive, and least weaknesses and etc.... Here is my quick list.... 1) Floyd Jr. 2) Roy Jones Jr. 3) Joan Guzman 4) Bernard Hopkins 5) Paul Williams 6) Shane Mosely 7) Joe Calzaghe 8) Oscar Dela Hoya 9) Israel Vazquez 10) Juan Marquez
Not a bad list mate, though I'd say RJJ is the previous era and while one of the best ever, not technically 'complete'. The other one is Vasquez, his defence is pretty bad and he's 1 dimensional, albeit a TOP class 1 dimension. I like the rest on the list.:good
Jones is not complete he have no chin. Who is Guzman and Williams from 10 years perspective? Vasquez and Marquez maybe in 5 years but 10? The most important question, where the hell is Pavlik?
Say what you want about little Iron Boy Calderon but he's probably the most skilled fighter in the game today. He lacks power and that's it.
He was a complete fighter until he was 34. We take the whole career into account. He was a complete fighter in the natural weight class he was in....BTW, that 3 divisions if you don't count LHW.
if your talkin about the last 7 years then in no order floyd mayweather bernard hopkins james toney lennox lewis oscar de la hoya shane mosley winky wright marco barrera juan marquez joe calzaghe
Every guy in the list has flaws,Trinidads only flaw was defence. KO power in both hands stamina chin inside and outside fighter. Someone like Mayweathers flaws I feel are bigger he cannot brawl and has trouble throwing punches if he feels he is gonna get hit plus no inside fighting game either. Tszyu also should be pretty damn close to the top,I really cannot think of too many weaknesses apart from when dealing with pressure fighters.
Nobody is a master of every single style like Calzaghe probably is. Mayweather at the lower weights was decent, Barrera has also demonstrated great versatlity. But in terms of all round completeness, Calzaghe is world class in every attribute he has, except the solidness of his hands. You cannot list people like Wright who lack so much power.
