    Roy Jones Junior.

    In terms of co-ordination and motor skills, and timing there has been no fighter in my life time more naturally gifted than Roy Jones junior.

    The Double end bag is a test of accuracy, timing, and co-ordination. And there is nobody, including Floyd Mayweather Junior who can hit the double end bag like Roy Jones Junior.

    I have seen Floyd Mayweather hit the bag, but he hardly has the confident or timing/accuracy to just unload combinations on it like Roy Jones.

    Jones goes sick at the end of this video.

    Hard to say but for me the best athletes have been RJJ, Tyson and a young Mosley.

    Harry Greb. Once you get the 24 disc Blu Ray career set and witness the legend in full 1080P high definition, you'll understand.

    "naturally gifted" is such a bull**** term..

    kids like Floyd were starting since they were 3 and guess what, his Dad had a huge influence on that.

    10,000 hour rule. Look that up by Gladwell.

    There are loads, too many to pick one... Gans, Leonard, Ali, Whitaker, Jones Jr, Robinson, Camacho, Mayweather, Pacquaio and I mean even guys like Meldrick Taylor and even currently Gary Rusell Jr are physically gifted because of their hand speed.

    Jones Jr's combination of speed, power, and evasiveness just can NOT be touched.
