    Exactly!! He, like many other bonafide power artists neglected to develop his skills moving forward because to a large extent he didn't have to. They get seduced by the power (who wouldn't) and change style. Rosario was another example on a lesser plateau. Gomez had some serious skills eary on.

    Bronco Billy Wright was best pure athlete to enter the heavyweight ring since Jess Willard.

    Canzi was a way better hitter than Toney. He also had a superior haircut.

    I would not put Gushiken in the category of Harada, Park, Chang, et al. in terms of natural talent.

    I'll just go off the top of my head, and not necessarily in this order:

    Ali
    Jones Jr.
    Ray Robinson
    Whitaker
    Toney
    Mayweather
    Pacquiao
    Tyson
    McCallum
    Duran
