    Well Roy Jones was probably the most physically talented, as were Tyson and Ali. I think Ray Leonard had a ridiculous talent in terms of pure boxing skill though. Combined with his impressive physical attributes as well he was clearly a beast. There was nothing he couldn't do in the ring.

    Most physically talented boxer ever. We saw the more his physical abilities eroded the more his boxing ability and skill was shown up. Still was the most awesome boxer I've seen in his prime, even if he did get busted for steroids

    SRL and PBF for me... technically the most gifted fighters for me.

    Whilst RJJ was supremely talented... as someone else has already said in this thread. There is something about his career that leaves a sour taste.

    Earnie Shavers is considered the hardest puncher and he started when he was in his twenties, imagine if he trained from an early age

    i gotta go with srr: there are few boxers who have one-punch ko power in both hands--and he definitively had that. SRL for instance did not have that kind of power at all. combine that with amazing refelxes and speed and one of the greatest chins of all time--never kod (1 tko form the heat) in 2000 professional fights...thats pretty much every basic attribute you could ask for.
