Most naturally gifted fighter you have ever seen ?

Toss-up between Willie Pep 'n Ray Robinson

 

sugar ray leonard

 

Sweet Pea, Mayweather, etc etc

Oh and Frank ****** said Prince Naseem was the most talented he had worked with.

 

You saw them fight? Live?

 

Joltin' Jeff Chandler

 

Tyson Fury

 

Yes, I believe he has!

 

Impressive

 

Floyd Mayweather and James Toney

 

Always for get this but, Wilfred Benitez. More in a purely defensive way.

To be the youngest champion of all time and just completely control a 15 round championship fight against a guy that was immensely more experienced. You can't get more naturally gifted than that.

 

NATURALLY gifted?

What exactly does that mean, a guy who steps into the ring for the first time with no training, and just starts winning?

Since we've never seen most of the greats fight when they were really young, no one knows.
Still, I guess speed and reflexes are something that can't be taught, so RJJ, Ali, maybe JMM.

LOL at those who said Tyson. He was great, but it was because of intense training and his personal dedication to that trainer. Mike's only natural gift was power. (well, and maybe raw intelligence, as we can now see.)

 

ALTERNATIVE ANSWER:

Chavez Jr.




He's been "gifted" more wins than any other fighter in history. (Naturally.)

 

Dwight Braxton/Muhammad Qawi just might qualify under that criteria

 

Sorry SRL holds that dubious distinction

 

Tyson is a fair shout, I think you'll find that all boxers trained really hard, power is a legitimate natural gift but Tyson also had excellent defence with his peek a boo style.
