    What does he do to make you think he's not talented?

    Obviously he relied on his athleticism, so does Floyd.

      He could still win fights with accuracy, smarts and defense....

        He was just bigger faster and stronger then everyone..he never used talent....and by the time he got old and easy to hit...he didnt have a fundemental background to keep him off the mat.

        I look at him like Michael Vick is in the NFL.........fast, exciting, big arm but no accuracy and awareness about what he does.


        Look at Mayweather Jr............like Peyton Manning, efficient, smart, accurate, moderate arm, rarely makes mistakes, fundementally sound, and has top notch intelligence and awareness.

        I believe thats the difference between TALENT and being ATHLETIC.


        Heres an NBA example for those not familiar with football:

        Look at one Vince Carter...high flying, dunk on you, crazy wild dunks, crazy hops, a good exciting young player who couldnt soot a basic jumper, didnt play defense and was a bad passer.

        Now look at Kobe Bryant.........high flying, dunk on you, crazy wild dunks, a good exciting young player who has an accurate jumpe and 3 point shot, very clutch, is the best on ball defender in the NBA and the all around best player and a guy who gets his teamates involved.


        Thats the difference.

        Im not a Roy Jones hater.........I was a fan..but he weas not talented...he was just extremely athletic.....he culdve played in the NBA or NFL if he applied himself.
        Doode, your a ****ing idiot.. Seriously, i really dislike you..
        Your making black people look real dumb right now..
        Now call me racist

          When he lost speed and reflexes...he didnt have any boxing skills to fall back on it was obvious.

          He turned into a punchng bag who culdnt block a basic right hand...or clinch effectively..or fight on the inside..he was a mess.

              So...he went nearly undefeated through 15 years, titles in numerous divisions, etc. without boxing skills?

                      This has been said for many years.

                      When he was in his prime, he was talented.

                      If Usian Bolt was a boxer, would he be an ATG because he's so athletic?
