    Roy Jones Jr.
    Sugar Shane Mosley.
    Sugar Ray Leonard.
    Young James Toney.
    Mike Tyson.

    All of them had an insane amount of speed coupled with power in their primes I thought. My knowledge is pretty limited before 1990 however. I'd mention Manny Pacquaio too, how could you not!

    I think just in terms of ridiculous physical talent, it might be:

    Sam Langford
    Roy Jones Jr.
    Sugar Ray Robinson
    Henry Armstrong
    Joe Louis

    nice range of eras and weights i think. hard to really answer that, because physical talent encompasses a wide range of qualities.

    How can he not be, man, it's ridiculous. There's no way you can beat like 18 world champions and just be a boxer with just skill and training.
