    The guy schooled a prime Morales in sparring. El Inca was a predator and he was a natural fighter who could counter when he needed to and **** you up. Amazing natural talent.:good

    i was a big fan of valero- he was a beast that could've gone all the way (in my humble opinion) yet in terms of naturally gifted, i think more of technique, skill and flair and, more to the point; someone who makes it look easy.

    edwin was a beast, make no mistake but compared to the likes of ray leonard he was several classes below.

    For the record, Roy Jones was no where near the most naturally giftedl fighter. The guy was probably the most naturally gifted athlete in boxing history and one who would probably excel in most physical sports. When his athletic abilities declined, so did his boxing career. And thats not a slur or knock on RJJ - i'm a huge fan.

    The most naturally gifted fighters in my humble opinion are Roberto Duran and James Toney.
