My recipe for the ultimate boxer

[v2k987]

The heart of gatti,
The reflexes and defence of flloyd mayweather,
The charisma and jab of muhammad ali,
The power of mike tyson,
The body punching of miguel cotto,
The foot speed and intelligence of roy jones

I would like to hear other peoples ideas... i am missing some huge names ... ray leonard, ray robinson etc

[teeto]

The chin of LaMotta, but i wouldnt say no to McCullough's or Gavilan's!
The reflexes of Pep
The left hook of Foster
The punch accuracy (combos) of Robinson
The right hand of Duran
The jab of Holmes
The head movement of Duran , or i would accept Whitaker here
The hand speed of Leonard (Ray)
The stamina of Ali
The ferocity of Duran
The ringcraft of Hopkins
The footwork of Benny Leonard
The power of Hearns
The defence of Sweetpea

Maybe the defence and reflexes could be swapped around?

EDIT= The bodywork of Chavez aswell, would accept Robinson though, i think Robinson was the best offensive fighter ever.

[smiffy]

the fury of nigel benn
the power of mike tyson
the body of lennox lewis
the speed of floyd mayweather
the chin of chris eubank
the jab of larry holmes
the demeanour of sonny liston
the lip of mohammed ali

[beerto]

adding....
the defense of winky
the knife edge rule bending subtleties of bhop
the presence of a prime foreman
the dictionary of eubank for good measure
the durability of duran

[Beeston Brawler]

I forgot about the chin of Chris Eubank, the elusiveness of Herol Graham, and the power of Julian Jackson!

Eubank prior to Watson II looked like he could have been a world beater, as opposed to a WBO belt hugger - but was never the same after that, and understandably so.

[McGrain]

Take Joe Louis and add Muhammad Ali's reflexes and chin. Nobody is beating him.

I liked your format bro..
Of a Classic with a Modern.
(I tried not to put the same fighter more than once)

[Beeston Brawler]

You must have watched a lot more boxing than me - I have only really been watching intently for about three years.

Modern chin I would say Ben Tackie 29-10, well past his best these days, but decision losses to prime Tszyu, prime Mitchell, near prime Hatton, and more recently Juan Lazcano and Kendall Holt.

Other candidates include James Toney and Oliver McCall, whilst not forgetting Antonio Margarito.

[thewoo]

Prime Roy Jones maybe with an upgrade to chin but that's about all you would need.
