    Who do you think ranks higher in terms of boxing ability/skill?

    JMM is often called a professor of boxing. Clenelo is known for being a great technical boxer as well.

    Both took drugs and were chemically-enhanced against their greatest foe, but JMM got it done in emphatic and brutal fashion.

    Clenelo got outboxed going backwards and he got outboxed going forward.

    JMM far more skilled. Canelo far more talented.

    That's a very apt way to put it.

    JMM is textbook at the highest level of the game. Clenelo is talented as he has outstanding speed and also athletic ability. That's my take on his comment, any way.

    Physically gifted would perhaps be more appropriate.

    That is what talented means.

    Skill is different from talent.

    JMM is a level or two ahead skill wise. Canelo is more durable, faster, more power (debatable).

    Some would go so far as to say physically enhanced

    Definitely not more power IMO.

    Quite a bit faster though.

    The Oxford definition of talent is having a natural aptitude or skill for something.

    It may have made sense in your head, but it didn't in mine. Hence the question.
