    The best natural abilities coming up right now probably belong to Gamboa. To his detriment, he neglects defense and gets knocked down every other time he fights.

    Mayweather, but I do not like his fighting style and I do not really think he is great. But his defense and skills are very good, I just do not think he has yet beaten a prime great fighter.

    I liked Whitaker. The whole point is to hit and not be hit, right? Right now I like Mayweather, Jr.

    Roy Jones might be the most naturally gifted athlete in history.
