      Which Mayweather is in your options? Sr or Jr?

      Why are the options only blacks?

        Out of that list RJJ. . . I'd say Tyson deserves an honorable mention too.

            I would say Ray Robinson, he literally had everything, most boxers have a few good gifts but have some weaknesses, roy jones jr was missing the chin, robinson had the chin, stamina, reflexes, power, speed, mental toughness, iq, endurance, heart, footwork, height (for his weight class), reach any of those physical gifts you can mention he most likely had,

That kind of athletiscm, the speed, explosiveness and hand eye coordination is what only the best athletes in the world have.

              Something to be said for Ali being so physically gifted for a heavyweight though. A man from the 60s was likely the most physically gifted heavyweight boxer ever, especially when it comes to speed and reflexes. Imagine that.

              I have thought about this too. And it goes for everyone on the list, not just Roy, unless they are too small or too large for the sport. Some of those other sports might be:

              Tennis, (sprinting?), defensive back, gymnastics, baseball, (basketball as guard)?,

              The thing is though, was all of Roy's talent actually talent?

                The main nailed it.

                  I imagine Pep is not on most peoples' list because of the lack of power. Just a guess.

                    Damn it! I had a great joke to reply to your "I imagine . . ." --> Physically gifted remark.

                    But now I know you are female and I can't use it because you're a woman.

                    See Bart Simpson was right, you can t let girls in the tree house: "What if I want to walk around in my underwear?"

                    Damn it!

                      I am a transvestite. I don't know how you guessed it. But I feel like a new pansexual woman, I will give you that much off the top, whippersnapper.
