Who do you think is the most talented boxer of the past say 20 years, forget resumes and opponents faced for the minute. Just on pure talent that you have seen in the ring. I´m split between Roy Jones Jr, Floyd Mayweather Jr and Pernell Whitaker.
The best talent in the ring?

I say Sweet Pea, unless Mayweather can prove otherwise in his final year or two of boxing.
Roy Jones had incredible physical gifts and flair
Mayweather has an almost unseen propensity towards the technical side of boxing and a great boxing brain
Whitaker had skills to par with Mayweather's (a little less orthodox which is probably also to his advantage), the flair of Jones Jnr and also had a ferocity and ability to dig deep that I don't think the other two do. Plus he has the best resume of the three so he proved his talent at a higher level.Comment

Roy Jones. He threw away the basics of boxing and was able to create a personal style that really was only based off of raw talent and sheer athleticism. You can't teach people how to fight like Roy Jones, but you can teach people how to fight like Floyd and Whitaker.Comment
