    I'll add in Joe Calzaghe also to this fine list, loads of natural talent, up there with the best in that area. Who else has that kind of footspeed/handspeed combination aside from Jones and a few others?

    Honestly, physically talented, Manny Pacquiao deserves a mention.

    Also, Ricardo Lopez and Benitez.
