Based purely on physical talent, ability, and athleticism (disregarding "technical skills") who do you think was the most gifted out of these flashy boxers from the past? Muhammad Ali Sugar Ray Leonard Roy Jones Jr Michael Nunn Pernell Whitaker Hector Camacho Meldrick Taylor Naseem Hamed Mike Tyson
ali I remember people use to say how he did not have the best style but because of his talent he got away with it he made everything look so easy
Ali, moved like a welterweight, catlike balance, reflexes and speed, tremendous chin which he didn't need in his prime. His true prime years, late 20's were robbed of him by the U.S. Government when they jailed him for not wanting to kill a bunch of Asian people in Vietnam.
RJJ for me, although the ones you mentioned have great physical attributes. RJJ on the other hand could do things in the ring that can only be done in computer games. Insane handspeed and reflexes for a light heavyweight. On a more recent example I would have to pick Floyd. Yes hes a boxing master but his reflexes and speed are excellent for a man in his later 30s. It gets him out of a lot of scrapes and it enables him to maintain his high levels of performance and longevity. An honourable mention goes to Bhop, not the most gifted of course, but he still manages to box at a very good physical level despite his old age, against the elite of boxers.
