    Any weight division...

    And active.

    By complete, I mean the best overall package - defense, offense, stamina, power, speed, etc.

    Is this Cotto?

    I just noticed that you said "active". It depends what you mean by active I guess......but I would still go

    1) PBF
    2) Cotto

    For "most complete boxer" out there

    most complete would have to be - Joe Calzaghe - he is quite solid in everything he does - never been beaten or stopped - average power - good chin - good defence if not great - been down a few times but bounced right up - consistent - 45-0 - World Champion since 1997 - obviously could say Mayweather too cos he is a obvious choice no 1 pound 4 pound

    I would say PBF because of his obvious skills but I want to be more subjective on this and say a Juan Manuel Marquez or a Miguel Cotto.

    mayweather
    cotto
    calzaghe
    pavlik

    probably forgetting some obvious other fighters but the reason i consider these names fitting for the list is because they all seem well rounded (some more than others) BUT none of them have lost. that is an important factor to me.

    for example if manuel marquez was the complete package, he would not have losses and draws on his record. or at least not that many. don't get me wrong. i like watching mmarquez fight as he's a fun counterpuncher to watch. BUT i cannot consider him the complete package if he losees. if you lose you obviously revealed a ***** in your armour.

    another exmaple is wladimir. he's one of my fav fighters atm, and while he has improved all aspects of his game i cannot put him up here simply because he has losses on his record. it indicates he had *****s in his package and therefore while a fav of mine cannot make this list.

    You're in denial if you can't see that it's Floyd Mayweather.

    If Joe still had knockout power it would be him by an absolute country mile.

    As it is you can flick a coin between him and Floyd.
