    I'd probably go with Lomachenko

    While I'm yet to be convinced of him as a boxing talent, Joshua is an incredible athlete...

    How are we defining physically gifted? Who has the best body? The tallest?

    He's an amateur, but Shakobidin Zoirov looked pretty damn impressive to me in Rio, explosive, great foot and hand speed, awesome reflexes; Rio had some great talents including Dusmatov, Melekuziev, La Cruz and Yeulisinov, but for me, Zoirov looked a like the best raw talent along with Melekuziev.

    He uses agility and speed that is significantly better than 99.9% of heavyweights (only other one I can think of is Jennings). Don't be a ****** about this. There's real puzzling examples in this thread like Badou Jack who was much less athletic than Degale, and Canelo suffers against speed.

    Crawford has to be up there P4P.

    I haven't seen a fighter yet that stands head and shoulder's above the crowd. There are some exceptional and potentially great fighters out there but no breakaways.
