    I like Robinson, but the question is obviously geared towards a Roy Jones answer so i dont mind him getting picked

    I think Jones had more natural athletic gifts than most pro fighters than I can think of. Does this mean that he always utilized them to the best of his advantage? Not necessarily. I don't if that answers the question.

    Depends, Jones clearly is the better athlete, no doubt about it, but is this 'god given' or him benefiting from supplements/PEDs/modern training?

    Jones got by on reflexes and speed. Ray got to the top with that and skill.
