What i am saying is...talent is the foundation of skill, so stop separating them.
    INTELLIGENT post, IMO...

              Not even his best performance but still a reminder of his amazing talent
              RJ's entrance for this fight was something to behold...

                  When Roy's speed and reflexes faded, his "skill" wasn't good enough to keep him winning any more.

                  Compare him to someone like James Toney. His "skill" kept getting him wins even when he got old and fat.

                    james toney never got KTFO... twice. roy is a mentally different fighter since the KO losses. his speed and reflexes might have gone, but his technical skill will always be first class. he holds himself back these days.
