    I wouldn't say there is anyone who was totally complete, for instance robinson as great as he was wasn't brilliant defensively, the most complete offensive machine in my opinion but not so great defensively

    The closest to the complete fighters i can think off would be
    Ezzard charles
    Charlie Burley(from what i've read)
    SRR
    SRL
    Duran
    Hagler
    Lopez

    No, Ali has no place among the most complete fighters. No HW has. And Ali wasn't even among the most complete HWs.

    Outside the usual suspects a guy like Eddie Mustafa Muhammad was incredibly well schooled and rounded. Average handspeed but more than covered by his timing excellence. Now if only someone lit a fire under his lazy ass.
