    Nope.

    There's more to being talented than being fast and flash.

    You've got to have guts and determination, a good chin and desire to add to your ''aesthetic'' abilities.

    Plus, I don't consider excessive movement a form of good defence. Floyd Mayweather can stand still and make an opponent miss by miles - that's good defence :deal

    You know when you look at the Abraham fight, He boxed brilliantly but lets face it Abraham started to get to him. Started landing some shots before that DQ and that's a guy who in the next fight would get schooled by Froch. I didn't give Abraham a single round that night.

    I think he's a fantastic athlete, but i don't think he's got the ring IQ of a Ward but he's the more naturally gifted athelte IMO.

    Most talented?. No i wouldn't say so but he'd be in the top 10 i'd say, But you've got Donaire, Gamboa, Rigo and a fair few others who'd say ''I am''. And TBH they've all done a great deal more then he has..

    He's very good but you could make a solid argument that he is currently the most disappointing boxer around also, what's he fought like a round an a half in the last 2 years?

    The guy is completely wasting his prime.

    Boxing is more than running around sticking your jab out and making people miss,if he was that good he could stand there and make people miss and counter with his feet planted, to me he is boring and a ***, boxers should fight not fanny **** about

    He boxed like a ***** against froch,ran and held all night,and then pretended to be knocked out againt Abraham when the going got tough,he's very talented but just doesnt have the tools to make a great fighter,so in other ways talented but nowhere near most talented..

    He's maybe the most athletic?

    Technically he is leagues behind the likes of Mayweather, Ward, Marquez etc.
