    Who's most God gifted/talented boxer last 30 years.

    I was watching highlight video of the 4 horseman of the 80s: Hagler,Hearns,Duran,Leonard and then some from the 90s all up till today like Rigo/Floyd/Shane/Oscar/Cotto/Manny/RJJ basically all the top level fighters of last 30?

    Although obviously alot more possibilities than what I mentioned above my opinion is down to 2. Guillermo or RJJ prob leaning more towards RJJ bc Guillermo is still relatively new and not a lot of fights although he looks almost invincible in training and his fights.. I just have never seen someone do the things Roy did with such ease ( when in prime). To have the Wins over Hopkins,Toney, Hill, then to see that DQ vs Montel Griffith and come back in 2nd fight and looked very motivated for a change no showboating and KO in 1 round. That's unreal to me.

          odlanier solis. It's a shame this fighter ate away his talent. once upon a time he was the same weight as david haye with the cuban skillset

              Out of Rigo/Floyd/Shane/Oscar/Cotto/Manny/RJJ...

              I'd have to Roy Jones Jr. is the only one who i'd say is equal amounts of naturally gifted and taught skills

              Floyd is gifted but a lot of his skills are very well taught and he is very well schooled, no matter how much he plays down how much he studies boxing. He is gifted in the sense he has absorbed all of the knowledge and has the athleticism to put it into practice. Obviously no boxer is completely 'God Gifted' though but i would say Floyd fights on mostly educated skill than a god given ability, although he still has plenty in his own right. Rigo might be classed as similar to this, maybe falling somewhere in between Jones and Floyd.

              The rest are great fighters but i don't think any are as well schooled as Floyd or as naturally talented as RJJ.

                I don't know about the last 30 years, but since I started really following boxing (around 8 years ago)... I would say David Haye. Too bad he didn't have the technique to make the most of his incredible talent.

                  Roy jones I think he pretty much tops this list for the last 100 years. Never seen anything like it never prbly will again

                  After him I guess I'd say
                  Tyson
                  Whitaker
                  Rigo
                  Pacquiao
                  Mayweather
                  Chavez sr- any man who can take a shot like he can should be in this list that **** is unreal sometimes that's a gift and and given ability all rolled up in one haha was also pretty talented to when you think about how much he accomplished with out a am pedigree or anything just started really.
