    SRR. he could stick and move, fight inside, power in both hands, great footwork, physically strong, killer instinct, heart, ability to go 15 rounds with snap and focus, didn't get cut all the time, speed, and unfortunately i am afraid to say it being a man and all, but was handsome.

    Koki Kameda.

    In seriousness, probably Sugar Ray Leonard in my opinion.

    Quick hands, fast combinations, good defensive movement, very good chin and he could bang when he really needed to.

    I have read some dumb-arse posts on this thread.

    Duran - Great going forward but not much of a defensive fighter.
    Whitaker - Great defensive counter-puncher but wheres the power?
    Chavez - No speed
    Dempsey - :patsch I dont think that one needs explaining.
    PBF - Could be complete but needs to show more attacking impotus.

    Those are only some of the ones I bothered to read.

    The obvious answers are Leonard, Robinson and perhaps Ali.

    duran belongs at the top of the list. a defensive genius

    ali does not: couldn't in-fight or body punch worth a ****

    complete fighting means skills and aptitude in all areas of the game, a mastery of technique, ring intelligence and the skills needed to utilize them to the greatest effect

    Excuseme :huh"essex boy" Duran not much defense man if you have really seen him fight you got to pay more attention,duran was the best at rolling with shots and had legendary head movement,this guy could control a speed bag with his head better than most with their hands.Seriously ive seen plenty of clips.You were right about dempsey not a complete fighter great slugger and fast but far from complete,neither was ali greatest heavyweight ever but no way complete.
