    There are fighters who are really talented, once in a generation talents, and then there are fighters who are extraordinarily talented, the kind that only comes along once in a lifetime.

    What fighters do you consider once in a lifetime talents?

    Roy Jones Jr.
    Pacquiao
    Mike Tyson

    Tyson was a freak of nature no heavyweight should be that quick, if he had been a middle he would have been unbeatable, he would have destroyed Jones and he would have destroyed Manny if he had been a welter, he was simply amazing, beating heavyweights far bigger than him was simply out-standing and will never happen again.

    Naoya Inoue

    15-0 in title fights (real ones, not secondary belts) w/ 13 KOs across 3 divisions and losing maybe 5-7 combined rounds. This is an incredibly dominant stretch and as one poster pointed out, might be the most dominant in boxing history.

    Inoue's resume is sometimes said to be weak. It isn't weak. It's just that he's so much better than everyone he's fought.

    It's like when RJJ was in his prime, and everyone said he was fighting bums.

    Agreed. It's a shame that Roman ducked 11-0 Inoue when he turned down the offer saying the money wasn't enough.

    But still...

    Inoue KO'd 4 world class opponents in under 4 combined rounds. And none of them had previously been stopped.
