I think Gervonta Davis is the most naturally gifted lower weight fighter

Dude, Inoue's got exceptional handspeed. He uncorks his power shots like they're fast jabs.

 

He speaks like he has brain damage tho

 

You realize that Lomachenko and Inoue are both in the "lower weights", yes?

 

Inoue is a silent killer. He is one of few boxers who is capable of delivering powerful blows repeatedly on different side of hands with a great acceleration and with great selection of offense. The series of punches he thrown to knock Rodriguez the first time is a combination of godly reflexes, eyes and hand speed, it's almost like machine. Can't train that one.

 

I can't wait for next year when Lopez and Haney will be in position to challenge him. And then there are Berchelt and Davis who will likely move up at one point.

 

It's Noaya Inoue and Kosei Tanaka.

Gervonta doesn't come close.

Warrington is also better than Gervonta.

 

I don't know about "The most", but in terms of natural gifts, he's definitely top 5 IMO. Tank really, truly is a physical specimen.

 

So what if he is 'gifted' ? Everybody knows that already. He never wants to fight Loma. Never wants to fight Berchelt. Him and Farmer only fought in Twitter. Natural talents without proper head get you nowhere.

 

Nah, he's more athletically talented and more skilled.

You're overly hyper-focused & hung up on that one component of being "gifted/talented". Power isn't the be all end all, just one small piece of talent (and even smaller piece of ability overall, which also factors in skill)

 

Davis has power, thats it. Lomachenko is athletically talented, and skilled. Its true what they say, the Tin Man has no brain.

 

Honestly, there are fighters who would be a world champion no matter who trained them or when, or even if they trained very much or not. Canelo is one of them. I bet that, had I trained canelo instead of reinoso, he would have been a world champion with me too. He's raw pure talent. The same happens with inoue, pure innate talent.

And NO, it doesnt happen with lomachenko. And I dont agree with the OP, I think it doesnt happen with gervonta neither. When you watch lomachenko you watch the result of years and years of training, not the raw pure talent shining, like we can see when we watch people like inoue or canelo. Clearly, had I trained lomachenko, he wouldnt be ****, nobody would know his name, not even his father.

 

errr no..

Why do u think Floyd smothers him?

Daddy Floyd won't let him near a legit threat lately

 

How do you figure that he's a unique physical specimen? He's not all that ripped/shredded like a Tim Bradley... And he hasn't shown insane athleticism like Pac or Loma...
