    Floyd & RJJ is still probably a great athlete nowadays, just goes to show what a physical phenom he was in his prime.

    Athlete - RJJ

    Trainer - Too hard to decide guys don't bring up multiple champs like they used to. As much as I hate to say it, Roach is about the last of the Mohicans in that department.

    Chad Dawson, Mayweather is good, but Dawson is a guy that was being seriously looked at as a D-1 basketball player but his grades weren't up to college standards.

    what do you mean by athlete? do you mean well conditioned, or skilled/ born to box like Ali?
    best conditioning would go to Ken norton, evander Holyfield, or rocky Marciano.

    In my humble opinion most people don't know what the **** they're talking about for one simple reason. They themselves aren't good athletes. Luis Collazo is better than some of the ****ing guys getting mentioned.


    That's a ****ing athlete:

    Agreed. Mosley is a little powerhouse as an athlete. I could easily see him driving a mean line drive, juking a defender out his cleats, and bodying off for a rebound on a length of the court layup.
