Not even talking about their unbelievably high level of boxing skill .... Looking solely at Athleticism, its hard for me to think of a fight where the two guys were such physical gods.. These guys both fight at another level, that rarely anyone reaches... its almost like they both slow down time when they fight... the way they anticipate and react . Unbelievable really, the type of reflexes these two have. More the reason to love this fight.... if this fight doesn't happen I will forever have a bad taste in my mouth... and a feeling that we all got robbed of seeing this truly historic and monumental fight
The contrast in styles also couldnt be more interesting. High Workrate, high intensity, speed, power v Cool as you like, Counter King, speed, accuracy, unbelievable defence. Both good chins. I dont know why anyone wouldnt want this fight made
I would say Judah vs. Mayweather was the two greatest athletes fighting, depending on what you consider an athlete though since Zab fades in about 4 rounds.
Roy Jones Junior. That dude was probably the single best all around athlete to lace them up. He played semi pro ball "on the side".

Judah is nowhere near as athletic as Pac..his handspeed is about equal but his body is nowhere near as athletic as a whole, not as fast legs, not as explosive.
