    though you are mocking, he was a superior sprinter and rugby player as a youth and did display great punch speed and power in the ring.

    under-motivated and ill-fitted mentally to prizefighting? sure.

    but a fantastic physical talent for the heavyweight division? definitely.

    Sander's was a freak of nature in the sense that he accomplished what he did by never committing himself and barely training. He was a natural athlete as Lennox Lewis had waxed on about.

    People seem to think it's some cosmic fluke that he blew away the best heavyweight in the world right now.
