Who's most God gifted/talented boxer last 30 years.

I was watching highlight video of the 4 horseman of the 80s: Hagler,Hearns,Duran,Leonard and then some from the 90s all up till today like Rigo/Floyd/Shane/Oscar/Cotto/Manny/RJJ basically all the top level fighters of last 30? Although obviously alot more possibilities than what I mentioned above my opinion is down to 2. Guillermo or RJJ prob leaning more towards RJJ bc Guillermo is still relatively new and not a lot of fights although he looks almost invincible in training and his fights.. I just have never seen someone do the things Roy did with such ease ( when in prime). To have the Wins over Hopkins,Toney, Hill, then to see that DQ vs Montel Griffith and come back in 2nd fight and looked very motivated for a change no showboating and KO in 1 round. That's unreal to me.

Would I be wrong if I said Roy Jones followed by Pacquiao? Who would be second?

How about James Toney, guy had defense and offense plus he fought competitive bouts past his prime. Towards the end of his career he hardly trained and still gave most guys a run for their money while looking like a tub of goo.

Manny Pac is the most gifted. Foot and hand Speed/power, dynamic punching ability athleticism. At his peak he was an absolute freak of nature. It will be a very long time till we get to see someone with that gift.

Defense is learned though isn't it? speed (hand and foot), power and punch resistance are natural gifts. Regarding balance, prime Pacquiao had superb balance imo. I think in most instances defense is learned, but some fighters seem to also possess a sort of innate ability to sense when a punch is about to be thrown and are able to sense danger before actually seeing the punch. I don't know how to define it. It's like a 6th sense or something.

What about balance and defense? I will not call him Chinny because of the JMM KO as Manny has been in many wars. I think most people would have went to sleep if they jumped into that JMM right hand like Manny did. God gifted balance.

RJJ wasn't natural. Manny Pacquiao is the most gifted. Handspeed, footspeed, power and punch resistance. What about balance and defense?
