i think that Hamed and Parnell can come close to Roy level ,also Nicolino locche comes to mind.
If you're talking about Nas, then I think you're confusing "slick" with unorthodox styling. While Nas moved in a snake-like way that conjures the word "slick", he's not what one typically refers to as a slick boxer. Which, is extremely solid fundamentals with attention to defense and counter-punching.
Roy isn't the best example of slickness either. Toney or Mayweather would be better examples of what people refer to as a "slick" fighter. Roy is the poster-boy for unorthodox athleticism, not necessarily slickness.
Skills yes,but talent no,i was looking for 2nd Roy but yet again its seems like there will never be boxer so good to be on roy level.
you must have forgot
Being orthodox doesn't means you don't have talent, Bojado was a pretty orthodox fighter, but his talent was something out of this world.
And yes, Barrera talent is far better than Hamed's, and Prince was a hell of a talent, but don't let that showmanship fools you.

i was thinking about Nas natural talent,but overall i agrre his no match,yea not classic way of slickness maybe you can call it athleticism,just couldnt find a word to discribe Roys movement.
I mean, i have watched every single Jones pro fight an all his amateur fights that are available on the internet, i don't have a doubt about his talent, but i haven't seen him slip more than a 3 punch combination.

I again dont now how to call it ,my english is bad,Nasim body just could move in freakish way ,if Barrera had body of nasim he would be monster ,but boxing talent was bigger in Barrera thats true.
Haha i mean his Talent was displead in offens mostly ,he was moveing much and countering ,his not a type of guy to just hold on while you put combo on him.

My English isn't good either, but i think athleticism, like you said earlier, fits well for the type of fighting you are mentioning.

Yea, I think athleticism would be a great question as I don't see a lot of Mexicans fighting on raw athletic ability, they are more about fundamentals and heart.
