    We didn't see much of the best of Robinson so we have to judge him at middleweight in which case Roy takes it for me as far as natural talent / athleticism.

          I would personally say Robinson.
          Roy Jones at excellent natural athleicism but, Ray Robinson had more natural boxing skills and ring savvy. Aslo a better natyral at adapting etc.
          Depends in what context the question is in.

          Again that's just my opinion.

          It appears I'm in the minority though.

            Jones may well be the most naturally talented fighter ever. Not the best, but almost certainly the most athletic.

              Wait are we talking about just reflexes & athletic ability or talent & ability?

              Better athleticism- Jones > everybody
              Skills & Talent- Ray Robinson had it ALL.

                Roy is as athletic a man as has ever been seen. Jones by far, even if SRR is the GOAT.

                    Speed = RJ Jr.
                    Power = SRR
                    Chin = SRR
                    Atleticism = RJ Jr.

                    What else can be classified as natural talent?
