    In terms of actual boxing athleticism? Probably Donaire or Gamboa.
    In terms of pure physical attributes? Not sure to be honest, there doesn't seem to be any real standouts that I can think of that are around at the moment.

    floyd, he runs well, he is super athletic, moves so fluid, I mean there are faster guys than him, but overall movemant, coordination, athletiscm, guess floyd #1 athlete. but guys like gamboa, rigondeaux, donaire or pacquiao are close.

    Agree with Jones being the greatest Athlete we've ever had.

    Could of been a basket ball player, a football player, chose to be a Boxer.


    Only guy who comes close to him is Kenny Norton.

    basketball, running short distances, arm wrestling, gymnastic. when I look of a guy media say is the greatest athlete ever, than I say, from the looks of the body and what prime roy was capable of doing in his sport, was for me superior what MJ did in his sport. no ****, thats how athletic dominant roy was.

    Roy Jones Jr. is the best ever.

    Right now, it's a bit hazier, but I'd argue Wlad is the best natural athlete in boxing today. It's very hard to be that big and strong, but still be that explosive, fast, and coordinated.

    All time, Ali.



    Just now, K2 and Hopkins for longevity. Ward and Floyd probably.
