    My vote goes to Toney. The guy just seems like he's in his element in the ring with gloves on. He just knows how to box. It's beautiful.

    Opposite end would be Hopkins. The guy who polished and perfected his skills until there was nothing left to perfect.

    Thoughts?

    Breidis Prescott, if you'd seen where he lived on the preview for the PPV, absolute poverty.

    He used to beat up kids in school for money!

    Oh and Margarito.

    Morales? He has the ability to box but just prefers to fight, even if he's up big on the cards.

    I don't know...he's been getting trained since damn near birth...I can't say "rather than trained" about Floyd, he was trained well for a long time.

    But his whole family line is connected to boxing, so in essence he was born to box.

    Have to agree with Mayorga. And Gatti I suppose.
