8) Oscar Dela Hoya
9) Israel Vazquez
10) Juan Marquez

Not a bad list mate, though I'd say RJJ is the previous era and while one of the best ever, not technically 'complete'. The other one is Vasquez, his defence is pretty bad and he's 1 dimensional, albeit a TOP class 1 dimension.

I like the rest on the list.:good

[Stinky gloves]

Jones is not complete he have no chin.
Who is Guzman and Williams from 10 years perspective?
Vasquez and Marquez maybe in 5 years but 10?

The most important question, where the hell is Pavlik?

I think Jones got decent chin at middle-super middle.

I think Jones got decent chin at middle-super middle.

So he was complete fighetr at one division?

[maximumsg]

complete fighter and trinidad should never be used in the same sentence. What a joke.

[Caper]

Say what you want about little Iron Boy Calderon but he's probably the most skilled fighter in the game today. He lacks power and that's it.

[LogDog69]

What about James Toney?

[Amsterdam]

MAB should be up there. But aside that mostly good picks by you guys.

Good call on MAB, we couldn't mention the Jermain Taylor's and Sven Ottke's of the world.:yep :good

So he was complete fighetr at one division?

He was a complete fighter until he was 34. We take the whole career into account. He was a complete fighter in the natural weight class he was in....BTW, that 3 divisions if you don't count LHW.

complete fighter and trinidad should never be used in the same sentence. What a joke. Every guy in the list has flaws,Trinidads only flaw was defence.
KO power in both hands stamina chin inside and outside fighter.
Someone like Mayweathers flaws I feel are bigger he cannot brawl and has trouble throwing punches if he feels he is gonna get hit plus no inside fighting game either.
Tszyu also should be pretty damn close to the top,I really cannot think of too many weaknesses apart from when dealing with pressure fighters.

[China_hand_Joe]

Nobody is a master of every single style like Calzaghe probably is.

Mayweather at the lower weights was decent, Barrera has also demonstrated great versatlity.

But in terms of all round completeness, Calzaghe is world class in every attribute he has, except the solidness of his hands.


You cannot list people like Wright who lack so much power.

[Chiko_Tech]

No Cotto in any list what a waste and they are more complete fighters in the lower weight clasess than in the hevy ones so bad that nobody cares.

[Zhaakal]

Roy Jones Jr.

[Raden]

No one could beat tyson...all boxers listed above can't bite...only Tyson did...:D:D:D.. he is the most complete...:D

[brooklyn1550]

I'd say the most complete/adjustable/versatile fighters in boxing are Mayweather, Barrera, Calzaghe, JM Marquez, and Hopkins.

[brooklyn1550]

You cannot list people like Wright who lack so much power.

I wouldn't base much off of power....if Whitaker was still around and in his prime, he would deserve a definite spot at the top even with a low KO percentage.
