My opinion is that Jones, Leonard and Mayweather should be in that order of the three.

If there were 53 names there, I would still have Jones at #1 but the other two would have moved around a bit.

People are usually confused on what talent actually is... Talent is part of natural ability, you can improve it through refined technique, but you have a predetermined ceiling. The categories for talent are speed, power, chin, and build... We're talking about some of the most talented fighters ever...

RJJ - His build, even though at 5'10, was above average because it allowed him to go through 40+ pounds without losing a step. His chin was a ? in his prime because he rarely got hit clean... His overall speed is P4P the best ever and had excellent power to boot.

SRL - His build was above average as a 5'10 welterweight, but his chin, speed, and power are all proven at the highest level. His complete set of attributes has me thinking about moving him up to #1.

Mayweather Jr. - Starting at 130, he had an above average build all the way up to 140. His speed is among the best ever. He hasn't been able to carry his power through the divisions, it started out above average and has regressed to average. Because of his skill in having one of the all time great defenses that has allowed him not to get hit cleanly, his chin can't be accurately rated, but because he has gotten hit during his inside fighting, I'll give it an above average mark.

Naturally talented they're all pretty close, but they all worked at it hard throughout their lives as well.

some of the people on this Forum have A.D.D. they think because someone is more talented, your saying that they are better lol

But I agree with:

Roy
Leonard
Mayweather

in that order, Roy Jones is probably the most talented fighter I ever seen...AMAZING ATHLETE! Terry Norris is very high also...Ask Ray Leonard lol

The more I look back on Roy, it gets harder to accurately gauge his talent. SRL and Floyd definitely did it against better fighters. Thats why I give them the edge.
