    If you were granted the gifts of 3 different boxers based on talents, skills, and assets who would those boxers be?
    For me I would have the superhuman qualities of Roy Jones Jr. , Sugar Ray Robinson, and Mike Tyson. I'd be pretty unstoppable.:bbb (not really)

    Mixing the qualities of Roy Jones, Sugar Ray Robinson and Mike Tyson gives you one big contradiction.

    It would be a whole lot easier to just say "I wish I had the talents of Sugar Ray Robinson".

    Build: Panama Al Brown
    Strength: Nicolay Valuev
    Durability: Oliver McCall

    How ****ing badass would it be to walk around as some skinny runt embarrassing every ******* who thought he was hard. As it turns out, Al Brown wasn't exactly fragile anyway, seeing as he was never stopped in his entire career.

    Sensibly though, these threads don't make sense. Our physiology largely dictates our attributes; for instance, Willie Pep was great on his feet because (aside from being intelligent from a proprioception perspective) he was both light and had short, easily manipulable legs. It would be disproportionate of him and unrealistic to possess mass and strength for harder punching, or long arms for leverage punching.

    In thier primes, I'l take:

    The ferocity of Duran
    The defensive magic of Locche
    The power ( for his size) of Ricardo Lopez

    The chin of George Chuvalo

    The defense of Willie Pep

    Nice.

    For me if only three? Frazier's stamina. Patterson's handspeed. Liston's power.

    technically : McCall's right hand , Tua's left hook , Sanders' combination punching including handspeed and duration of flurrying .

    physically : Tua's punching power (McCall's could also turn d trick) , McCall's punch resistance (Tua's could also turn d trick) , Salvador Sanchez' stamina / Nicolay Valuev's size (but i'd rather have a little less than it outside d ring if it was possible)

    Alberto Davila, Horacio Accavallo and Ayub Kalule.

    A dour, physically unspectacular craftsman, no doubt pummeled to defeat by the more athletic natural talents in the division if it were in a golden period.

    Today i'd be a long reigning champion and overrated by many as one of the most skilled, tough to beat boxer-punchers of all-time.

    I'd like to have the strength, durability, and punching power of David Tua.

    Holyfield- conditioning, strength, durability, footwork, speed, overall skill, heart, and punching power

    Vitali Klitschko- size, strength, durability, conditioning, punching power, jab

    I think this combo would make a very dangerous HW

    I'd be a MW with the chin of LaMotta, the ferocity of Benn and the reflexes of Jones Jnr.

    6'7" - 6'8", 80" - 81" reach, and 245-250 Lbs. Good looking and tan lol Totally ripped because there is some Holyfield in me. Amazing chin, amazing power, amazing strength, amazing stamina, great footwork, good quickness, good workrate, good overall skill, and a long stiff jab. I'd pick this guy over Ali!
