This is not based on accomplisments alone. Please name your top five most physically gifted fighters. Fighters who just had the most natural ability you've ever seen.
Roy Jones Jr. Sugar Shane Mosley. Sugar Ray Leonard. Young James Toney. Mike Tyson. All of them had an insane amount of speed coupled with power in their primes I thought. My knowledge is pretty limited before 1990 however. I'd mention Manny Pacquaio too, how could you not!
I think just in terms of ridiculous physical talent, it might be: Sam Langford Roy Jones Jr. Sugar Ray Robinson Henry Armstrong Joe Louis nice range of eras and weights i think. hard to really answer that, because physical talent encompasses a wide range of qualities.
How can he not be, man, it's ridiculous. There's no way you can beat like 18 world champions and just be a boxer with just skill and training.
Hhhmmmm Natural ability??? First ones that comes to mind for me are right off the bat?? Kirkland Laing Jack Johnson Max Baer Jack Dempsey possibly even one of the pioneers like a Corbett maybe??
Why ppl picking Tyson??? Just look What Buster Douglas did to him - Peak Tyson diddnt look so skillful when he fight somebody skillful And not scared.
