    The problem with saying Roy Jones is that it isn't 100% "all" natural now is it?

    He has fast feet but his upper body is stiff, he has trouble fighting on the backfoot and just all around hand-eye coordination is nothing special.

    I very much agree with most of this.Lopez is a brilliant technician but worked hard to get there.And some of the most naturally gifted pissed the talent they had away.
    Roy is probably the most obvious example of naturally gifted,and I'd mention Riddick Bowe as well.
    From what I've read Pep was born to box too.
    Kirkland Laing had all the God given talent ever needed as well but didn't have the mindset.

    fraud has to fit all category!

    infact, apparently he is the best pressure fighter and the best jabber in someone's thread.

    Well, Naseem Hamed was gifted with insane power, great handspeed and amazing recovery. As a result he didn't train as well as he should have yet he was still a great fighter, however, this led to his downfall.

    Guillermo Rigondeaux has all the athleticism in the world.
