    Nah, Pep was a good fighter inside, offensively. Especially when it comes to stepping inside, scoring flurries, then swiftly departing. But I don't think his moves, up close, in the pocket were as complex or varied as Whitaker's stricly from the defensive angle of things.

    Defensive fighter...Locche he has the best defence I've ever seen.


    Puncher...Freitis has more power.


    Chin....Hagler has one of the greatest chins ever.


    Speed(overall)...Leonard very quick feet and some of his combos were like blurs.


    Heavyweight...Bowe beat better fighters and only lost once to a great he beat before and after.

    Defensive fighter...at first i went for Locche, in terms of pure defence, but then i thought in terms of effectiveness its either or, anyhow i settled on Locche for my first reason. But i just read the note made by Manassa and 'defensive fighter', that could be interpreted to where it must be given to Pea imo.


    Puncher...Freitis , but at 122 Pac was a sickening hitter at times.

    Chin....has to be Hagler, more proven from what i and everyone else has seen, great great chin, while Hopkins' is still largely untested because of one of the best defenses ever.


    Speed(overall)...is actually quite close, but Leonard, probably hand speed is where the edge could be argued, but spped of reflexes etc must be Floyd imo.


    Heavyweight...Bowe imo.
