Name fights where there was an extreme athleticism and talent gap.

uhhhhhhh no

Urm Yes. It's quite clear though I recognize Broner has arguably lost on multiple occasion he has the ability to do well at the lower weights as he talent and skill. He's just an idiot and there is nothing me and you can do to stop that.

Pacquiao - Rios

Rios got embarassed though.

The original poster was looking for examples where there was an "extreme athleticism and talent gap" and the less talented guy still won.

Lol...maybe I will read the first post next time...because just the thread title would be seemingly 90% of fights.

I don't agree with Tyson/Douglas. Douglas was a great athlete with good power and size. He was just lazy as **** and had motivation issues.

Mickey Bey/John Molina
Silakh/Grachev

Khan vs Molina

[Tay Roc]

huh? There wasnt an extreme talent and athleticism gap between those guys.

I believe there was. Amir khan had superior hand speed, athletcism and technique. Danny had better power and chin (which aren't due to athleticism) imo. The only advantage Danny had in that fight was his dad throwing amir khan off of his game and his superb left hook. Danny is a very limited fight (talent/athleticism wise), but maximizes his tools/gifts.

Broner and Maidana doesn't count... Maidana was obviously the better fighter so that in essence kind of makes him more talented...


I think in terms of true athleticism and skill gaps.. Martinez-Chavez

Floyd-Baldo

Roy Jones vs Ruiz (of most of his opposition really)

Canelo-Angulo looked bad too.

Gary Rusell Jr vs TBA

GGG vs Ishida was pretty bad...

Pac vs Rios
Pac vs Diaz

yeah but topic was "fights where the guy with less athleticism won".

George Foreman vs. Michael Moore?

Speaking of Maidana, Maidana vs. Ortiz.

Honestly, Maidana had nothing on Ortiz besides determination. Ortiz had more talent, skill, power, better chin, and Maidana broke him.
