    In terms of TALENT not skill or heart or anything else I would have to say my top guys are.

      And that left hook is still the best ever. Ray Robinson is the most talented in the history of the sport, and he actually used and challenged the talent too.
      archie moore was and old master though... moore an robinson were going to fight but couldnt agree on the money

        Two Ton Tony and Ten Ton Toney.

        If he didn't smoke like a chimney hadn't drank like a Irishman, Galento could've been the greatest heavy ever.

        If Toney had been born in the pre KFC era, he would have knocked out Sugar and Louis on the same night and Boozo could've been a real bucket boy!

        Those were the greatest natural talents never realized in the history of mankind and could have altered the entire course of history!

          Yes, Archie Moore is seriously underappreciated.
          But I think he is more skillfull than physically talented, but I would place him higher on a skill-scale.
          If that makes any sense..?

              i wouldnt say he was less phyiscally talented just different.. robinson was thin so he used his hieght ..moore was a beast huge lats and legs...he was light heavyweight champion till he was 50 over 10 years and didnt get a shot till he was 39 against maxim.. and the best puncher that ever lived.. he was the most natural

                Yes, it's true all that. Let me just look up some videos of Archie, so I'll remember better...

                  Im sorry I forgot about toney I never said ray was slow I was saying what fighter has he ever faced to prepare him for maybe the fastest middel weight ever. I dont remeber all the fighters he faced but maybe the fastest was kid gavilian and some people think he deserved to win there first fight.

                      I've seen some clips now, and it's as I remembered; he is more skillfull than outright talented. At least compared to Ray Robinson.
