    I'll start with PBF. Subjectively, I would like Pac to beat him, but objectively, it seems as if from day one, he just has the skill sets and instincts that allow him to be a one-of-a-kind fighter, especially with his hand speed, foot speed, head movement, and impeccable philly shell defense.

    I would nominate Floyd#1, but skills don't just pay the bills in boxing. I like Abraham just as much as Floyd.

    yes we are , but like i say does natural talent really exist in boxing ??? , i mean Floyd is seriously talented but like Mayweather Snr said Floyd is no coincidence the 5 weight world champion is no coincendence , he was raised in a boxing family by one of the best boxing brains to grace our planet and has had years of homing his skills he has learned to get the to the level he's at now .

    Sure fighters have natural fighting talent otherwise they would not be fighters !!!!!! , but pure 100% natural talent , i can think of 2 :

    Jones Jr
    Ali

    Then there are the obviously the other greats with great talent :

    Mayweather
    Ray Leonard
    De La Hoya
    Mosley
    Hopkins
    Calzaghe
    Toney
    Morales

    etc etc etc etc .

    But pure 100% natural god given talent is hard to find in our sport !!!!!!
