Anthony Mundine. Played 1st grade rugby league. Was one of the best players in the sport. Used to do backflips and cartwheels after scoring.
right now, its mayweather, pac, berto, alexander, gamboa, dawson, ward and dirrell. but all time its SRR, ali, RJJ, sweet pea, and hearns.
Right now I'd say there are a lot of great athletes in the sport. Pacquiao, PBF, Chad Dawson, Steve Cunningham, Gamboa, Sergio Martinez, David Haye, Berto, Judah, Bradley, Amir Khan, Devon Alexander just to name a few. How anybody would say Pacquiao is not an athlete is beyond me.
are you serious? Pac does **** in the ring that are inhuman. His lack of size would limit him in other sports, not his athleticism. If we where going by what you say no one below middle weight is a good athlete then.
The guy in my avatar (Fernando Guerrero) might be one of the best raw athletes in the sport. There some video up on Youtube of some of the crazy stuff he does in the gym, and while boxing was always his primary sport, evidently he was very good in a few other sports as well (i.e., he picked up wrestling one year for shits and giggles and placed at the state level). Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam is also an incredible raw athlete. A few others already mentioned are Mayweather, Dawson, Gamboa, Dirrell, Mayweather, Khan, Pacquiao.
