Will a talent as agile as Ali, technical as Usyk, versatile like Holyfield with KO power ever exist?

Unlikely. Most top heavies today aren't turning pro until they are a bit older and most are only reaching their peak in their early 30's.

Very unlikely any 32 year old can be as fast as a 22 year old Ali or a 22 year old Mike Tyson for that matter.

If you have a guy with serious 9/10 ko power, it isn't that likely he will develop the kind of technical skills Usyk has unless he is naturally on the more cautious side psychologically.

I very much doubt we will even see a fighter like Mike Tyson again , let alone someone as quick as Ali, technical as Usyk and well rounded as Holyfield.

 

Yes, but not in the heavyweight division. The higher the weight, the harder it would be to combine those high quality traits. I would say Ray Leonard had those traits for a part of his career.

 

Was holyfield that versatile?

You can't have it all. Always a trade off.

Why prime Pacquiao scared the hell out of Mayweather after he pummeled Cotto.

 

The indians have the biggest dicks und the poles are the best lovers .

My name is winnetou kowalski

 

Gene doping will be a thing someday. They will make boxers from today look like garbage, and everyone will agree. They'll be enhanced with cybernetics and gene editing

 

Maybe Herbie Hide? Hard hitter, very fast, seemed skilled, and cruiserweight-sized. His problem was durability, which isn't one of the traits you asked for.

 

People who have the natural kind of power you are talking about don't develop the rest of Their game to the same extent those fighters did because they don't have to. And if they did they would "lose" some of their power because power is also a mental game as well.

So no I don't think they will ever exist with out some changes to the sport/people.

Last I knew Roy Jones jr is still alive although not in his prime anymore.

 

Téofilo Stevenson came pretty damn close to this description.

 

Bob Armstrong is like a worse 1800s version of this.

 

A near perfect boxer for me was Gene Tunney. Great footwork, technique, speed, great Ring I.Q., good power, great chin, workrate and stamina. And indeed The Fighting Marine was one of the best boxers in history.

 

People never mention him as an ATG heaveyweight. If I'm not mistaken, he may have been one of, if not the 1st, to study film of his opponent.

 

Yes, that's right, Tunney studied his opponents. Gene never lost in the heavyweight division and retired as a world champion, he didn't have many matches in the heavyweight division (where he fought in the last 3 years of his career) and in the rankings of the best he is seen more in the light heavyweight division, where, with Charles and Moore, he can be considered among the best 3.

Then in my opinion Tunney deserves to be in a very high position in the best p4p of all time, because in his career he only lost against the great Greb, who he then defeated 3 times, he beat Gibbons inside the distance (the only one to do so), Loughran, Carpentier and won 2 times against Dempsey. It is fair to say that both Tunney and Dempsey did not face some black boxers of the time, unfortunately in those days this could happen and several black boxers did not have the world chance they deserved, Langford and Willis above all.

 

Why would it? That's four different fighters.
