Who's the most athletic boxer of all-time?

[Stoppage]

Who is the most athletic boxer to ever lace up a pair of gloves?

In my opinion, it's Roy Jones.

Roy Jones was first in my head but after further thought: Pernell Whitaker. His flexability, agility and reactions were off the scale. Literally unbelievable.

NO ONE looked good agaisnt him.

[mrboxer]

evander holyfield,did you see those moves on that dance show he was on

[Obama]

Shane Mosley. Even in old age the guy is a physical beast. I can't recall a 38 year old as fast as him, who still has very good legs.

roy jones easy, basketball, tennis, football, he can do it all

Shane Mosley. Even in old age the guy is a physical beast. I can't recall a 38 year old as fast as him, who still has very good legs.

it's easy to look good against punching bags like margarito
watch jones-lacy(P.S, jones is 40 and at light heavyweight)

Cassius Clay - he should have been a 400m hurdler

I believe Ken Norton was a very talented athlete.

You ABSOLUTELY CANNOT compare a prime Margarito to a past it Jeff Lacy. Lacy hasn't been relevant since 2005. Margarito was a top 10 p4p fighter when Mosley beat him.

And PS, Jones still doesn't have legs. He would never beat a LHW version of Margarito. Hell, he wouldn't even beat Chris Henry. That pressure style is made to destroy the current version of Roy. This is absolutely not how you beat Shane Mosley however.

Hell, there has been some amazing athletes in boxing over the years.

Peak Roy Jones gets my vote but a few others that deserve a mention are:

Meldrick Taylor
Ray Leonard
Ray Robinson
