      Floyd was born into a boxing family and taught boxing since he was like 3 yo.

      So if you do something nearly everyday since you were 3 then Im pretty sure it should come naturally or if not then you are just bad at it.

      If Floyd was born into a normal everyday family I dont think he would be boxing or if was born into a family like manny had, he might not even be alive.

      On the other hand Manny came from nothing and was a world class boxer without world class training, so does that make him more naturally gifted? I dont know.

      Imagine if manny was born into a boxing family, was trained since he was 3 yo and actually had a amature boxing career. He would probably a more complete fighter then he is now.

      They both have excellent attributes for boxing and combined with their work ethics makes them great boxers.

      If we're gonna talk about being born with a gift (which is complete nonsense) then coming up from a third world country, fighting professionally at 16 and winning a world title without any Amateur experience >>> Being brought up the right way in boxing, I.E. learning from a young age, boxing amateur with headgear, participating in the Olympics and then turning pro.

              I wouldn't say he is gifted. Gifted fighters are someone like Roy Jones who has crazy atleticism and reflex, or Valero who has unbelievable KO power. Mayweather although is fast and atletic relies more on skills and smarts. He can is the most complete fighter I've ever seen yet his resume could have been 10 times better.

                To a certain extent this is true, his ability to adapt in the ring to his opponents style almost comes natural to him.

                With Manny it's different, Ask yourself where would Manny be today with Freddie? I can't decide.

                Discuss, No trolls. *******s and *****s fuck off.
                Being born with courage and athleticism is a gift and obviously Pac has it. Dont you think having those gifts didnt make him from where he is now?

                  Floyd's gift is more than just being born into a boxing family. Oscar also comes from a boxing family, but he's nowhere near as talented as Floyd.

                      IMHO PAC had a gift with an abundance of speed, power and heart, Freddie trained Manny to use those gifts ....

                      I have to add the PAC won his second World Champhionsip barely a couple of weeks with Roach, he would have won that with or with Freddie...
