The best fighters with the least talent?

[boxaholic]

For me its got to be librado andrade, the guy has the heart of a lion, would love to see him win a world title. Also Omar sheika is got to be worth a mention

Agustus, Sheika, and Mayorga are in entertaining fights. Either they go out on there ass or put someone on there ass.

mayorga and margarito. Tony has average skill but great stamina and chin

Agreed..both have/had chins of granite..and decent power..

[Verstyle]

Come on now. You've got to know that Bernard Hopkins is not really that talented! Everywhere he's got has been by smarts and determination.

That's called talent, GENIUS

[KILLA RIGHT]

A chin makes up so much for lack of skill

[-Hyperion-]

mmmmmm for me chin and power are a huge mostly born with talent.....in fact i think thats the most difficult thing to develop by practice.......speed-stamina-technique are much easier to learn..........so i dont see how margarito-mayorga-andrade are not supremely talented.....

As I said in this same thread last night (this topic has been discussed), Margarito is the least talented "elite fighter" I've ever seen

[KILLA RIGHT]

Just throwing it out their what about pavlik?

I throw Pavlik in the same boat as Margarito. It's like I keep saying, look at the current pound for pound list and tell me boxing is in good shape. Half the list can't even BOX for crying out loud. The sport is in shambles as long as guys like Margarito and Pavlik are among the 50 best in the world, let alone 10-15

Darnell Wilson

Librado Andrade

Antonio Margarito

Basically any of the tanks who just press forward and throw bombs until their opponent finally catches one in the wrong place.

At least Margarito understands where/how to place punches. I wouldn't say he has natural talent by normal standards, but he has more than the two I mentioned above. Pavlik isn't very talented either. He's a relatively smart fighter though, especially when it comes to breaking down and finishing his (lesser) opponents. He doesn't go in and wing bombs and press forward like the other guys I mentioned. He possesses the X's and O's, but we could all see his lack of natural talent against Hopkins.

Gatti or Mayorga, but I say Gatti more so than Mayorga at least Mayo has an iron chin Gatti has a good chin but is mostly just pure heart
