Is Floyd Mayweather A Top 5 Talent?

Talent - a special natural ability or aptitude

I always thought talent was something you are born with like it says in the site. You are saying it's something that is taught. So based on my thinking that talent is something that you are born with, Foreman was born with that massive power therefore he is talented. Am i right?

Yeah, thought so, skill and talent are two different things.

[Easy-E]

I would say that he is.
Probably number 4 or 5.

you "foreman is a better boxer than floyd mayweather" you know exactly what i mean,no self respecting person who knows anything about boxing would say foreman is a better boxer than floyd.

[BiggyGuns91]

in essence that's what you said,you threw out the idea of p4p when you questioned floyd's talent compared to foreman.

[oldgringo]

No but he's up there.

Floyd works hard...REALLY hard. Boxing isn't exactly some thing that he can just show up and do and keep winning. The guy is a machine and he's very focused...that's why you don't see him lapse late in fights. When he gets in the ring he's completely focused. That's admirable.

Talent wise he isn't one of the top 5-10 though.

Maybe you misread or i misinterpreted. What I mean to say is that you can't put PBF in front of Foreman TALENT wise because they are each talented at different aspects of the sport.

put it this way,if floyd was a heavyweight,with skills,would he be better than foreman?
