Who's the best natural talent in boxing?

Young Ali (Clay)
Roy Jones jr
Sugar Ray Leonard.
Mike Tyson
Mayweather today
And a lot of others

 

Probably james toney. The man is hopelessly out of shape and can still mix it at HW. At the moment for talent though it would have to be someone raw like gamboa.

RJJ should fit the bill here if were talking all time talent. I dont think there will be a fighter in a very long time who could the things he could do in the ring.

 

rjj

 

I wouldn't commit to saying he was the most naturally talented, but Naseem Hamed deserves another mention. He wasn't commited to the sport but did show amazing talent and skills, probably only matched by prime RJJ who as people say was just amazingly gifted as an athlete. Valero obviously needs a mention, he did everything wrong outside the ring but was a monster in it (and outside as we learnt more about him).

Mayweather has a ring IQ that can't be taught, though he does train well for the physical side of his game.

 

Thought I should give a shout for Sergio Martinez(of today's talent) the guy didn't start until he was 20 and had to develop against a ton of no-hopers and cans yet when he got the chance to step up when DiBella signed him, he stepped up in a big way...not saying he's the one, I think there's a whole crop of guys that deserve mention but I thought I'd give him a shout.

 

prime Roy Jones Jr, and nobody is even close!

Was: RJJ

Now: Amir Khan

 

Probably Roy Jones, did anyone fight so effortlessly as Roy Jones.

Ironically i dont think Roy was particularly exciting to watch, unless he was fighting a C class fighter, but his style was exciting if you get my drift, he could be kinda tedious to watch as he refused to lead to the opponent.

 

Now a day's it's Floyd, it has to be. He's the best pure boxer around today.

Anybody mentioning Amir Khan is still feeling the after effects of Prescott's punches

 

Just make your pick, If people feel Khan is there pick what's your problem?

Get used to Amir Khan's name, he ant going no where for a long time, its just the start.

 

What about Saddam Kietyongyuth?

 

True i agree, his video's will be doing the rounds on Youtube next time he's flattened

 

Yeah thats all you haters wait for, keep waiting.

 

Since when were ROIDS natural :think See alot of people mentioning Toney , RJJ etc
