    Pac, Pavlik, Wlad, Cotto and Haye are all excellent offensively....

    And all are a bit lacking defensively...

    Wladimir's would be complete if he had a good uppercut that he used a little more often. Yes, I know he used a nice uppercut vs. Brewster but he needs to mix it in a bit more.

    Cotto would be a good choice as would Calzagne. Joe's power isn't top notch but his speed, punch selection, variety & combos are totally complete.

    It also has to do with POWER in my opinion.

    its gotta be someone like juan diaz.... define offensive arsenal

    in my mind that means you throw alotta different combo

    in the few times ive watched pav (3 fights) he dont really got an insane amount of different punches he throws.... he actually seems quiet simple yet effective

    Arsenal = Stock of weapons

    Which fighter possesses the most weapons. The most ways to hurt his opponent. The answer is easily Floyd Mayweather. He has arguably the fastest hands in the sport and without a doubt the most accurate hands. The best lead right. ONe of the best left hooks. A very underrated jab....when he needs it. Great body punching. Unbelievable combinations.....when he choses to throw them. He can stay outside, or as proven against Hatton, out fight his opponent in the clinch as well. It is hard to find someone that does anything better then Floyd, let alone a number of things :deal

    At the same time, Wlads hook as someone is on their way in is underestimated no?

    Ill give the best offensive arsenal to Cotto, the others you said are close though..

    I'd go with Rafael Marquez. Great power, can throw any punch, and amazing combination punching ability.

    Good call. Both he and Izzy would be good picks here.

    It's early in his career, but Gamboa has a hell of an offensive arsenal as well.
