Anderson Silva is extremely talented. I kind of look at this question as far as where he is in his career today. Jon Jones is still a really young cat. He's only 24 and he is already displaying striking defense as good as some of the top in the game--Machida and Silva. Who else has made Rampage and Shogun look so bad striking? Not even Machida could do so.
Jones wrestling is way better than Silva at this point. He's so young and he is already as good as some guys that have been in the game for decades. I think that makes him the most talented.
You can't discount his skills mainly as "physical tools" also. Every athelete has different physical tools. It's mainly about your ability to perform an action that gives you any advantage at all.
