    Is Deontay the most naturally talented boxer ever?

    We know his skills are lacking but he still gets by with what can only be seen as sheer physical talent.

    Is Deontay the most naturally talented boxer ever?

    I think Mike Tyson is up there as well but he had great boxing mentorship from the time he was a young teen, something Deyontay never got.

    Maybe most naturally talented puncher?

    His defence is the opposite of talent.

      Not even close .
      Outside of his power, he doesn't have much else.

              Ever heard of naseem hamed?
              Wilfred benitez? Mike tyson?
              These were guys that wouldn't train, go into a ring and destroy people.

                No not by a long shot. He trains hard to improve and much of his talent is learned not natural. He has more talent now at 33 than he did at age 29. Watch his amateur fights or his fight with Milina and then seriously try to say he is the most naturally talented boxer ever. Lots of past heavyweights take guys like Molina out in a round or two. Just call him a great puncher with a good left jab who can be wild and sloppy and leave it at that.

                  Is this some type of joke?

                  We saw what happened wiith Hamed and Tyson when they took a fight lightly with not much training

                  Barrera made Hamed look like a dishwasher and Buster dropped Tyson like a bag of cement.

                    Wilfred Benitez got that spot. He trained very little for his fights.
