I alway hear about people saying this guy got skills but what are there skills?
does he execute the punch in the right way or does he know when to use it?
is it about footwork or jabs?
skills is too general word to use
i try to separate them into 2 categories.
boxing skills - blocking , parrying , footwork , head movement , shoulder movement , technical punching , counter punching ability , balance , etc.
and
natural skills - speed , handspeed , power , chin , durability , etc.
when i say well-skilled i'm referring to boxing skills.
i got into some heat once because i typed manny is unskilled compared to the greats. they didn't understand that i was A. comparing manny to atg's and B. i was referring to his balance , defense , footwork that is not that great though improving.
obviously , manny has excellent natural skills. his handspeed and power is what gets him past technically more sound boxers.
it better to say physical skill instead of natural because some fighter develop this stuff by themselves instead of born with it.
what about saying skills is the ability to use you ability to you advantage. example if someone has speed but doesnt know how to use it is no useless. same with other stuff. But maybe someone has one punch KO and nows how to use it

its not natural born talent, but something that you learn along the way.
someone who can adapt and make quick fast changes when things arent going his way in the ring.
Roy Jones had a combination of both natural born talent and skills.
Mayweather too
