    Muhammad Ali and Floyd Mayweather closely followed by SRL, SRR, Charley Burley and Duran.

    Marvin scores highly but not the most athletically gifted.

    Which is why I'd favor him in many 15 over 12 round all time fights. Those last 3 make a difference.

    Brain chin and heart the three most important attributes in top level boxing. Just ask Floyd Jr.

    Cardio I’d agree is up there next in line, power less important. Power is memorable, exciting, but can also be a curse at the very top level.

    Hagler was great - but most athletically gifted? Go to back to bed!

    Sugar Ray Robinson is the answer to this question

    Surreal power, endless stamina, blinding speed, granite chin. All this in the package of a big, strapping Welterweight.
    Oh, and the finest skills of all time.
