    Not saying he is one of the best in the world but he has a tonne of natural ability, he didn't start boxing till he was 24

    There's way too many. I would have to go with a guy who doesn't have a lot of natural athleticism, though.

    I would say James Toney.

    BUt of course Toney does have a lot of athleticism compared to average folk.

    Haha so I relaly don't know, it's too hard for me.

    Amateur Tszyu .. and a few of his earlier fights like the Rodriguez where he had head movement, speed and the scary power. Literally played with a world champion. He lost so much movement over his career.

    Physically got to be Roy jones. Overall Floyd jr physically and Mentally. Ali for Heavyweight for his hand speed and foot speed at his statue was unreal.

    I was getting excited about Edwin Valero. Forgetting the £$%^ he did, in the ring he was a beast.
