Name 3 boxers that were as athletically gifted as Roy Jones Jr.

[whollisboxing]

Ray Robinson and Joe Louis.

I will give you Sugar Ray Robinson after watching footage of him unleash a series of left hooks like most elite fighters pump out jabs.

Joe Louis though? he actually had slow feet and his success was due to superior timing and technique more than anything.

If it's speed pac was insanely fast.

Anthony Mundine?

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Yep, I remember reading that interview. Griffin sparred Floyd and fought Roy twice obviously.

I also remember Roy commentating at the Floyd-Pac fight and saying something like Floyd was 10% faster than Manny...Although that was a shoddy version of Manny.

I always felt Manny was faster but Floyd had better timing which nullified the speed of Pacquiao. Just my two cents...

The difference is that Manny fights short so his punches are short sharp and he throws combos its beat a drum fast, Floyd fights long and can land a straight right from so far out its unreal, Floyd is way quicker than what he looks from the outside, its hard to put into words there is quick speed and there is fast speed .

Lots of guys as athletic as Jones. They just werent as good. Zab Judah was a super athlete.

Fury? Lmfao ban this guy

To be fair although fury often has a flabby unathletic appearance i can understand why he is included.

There is no way a man of that size should be able to move like he does and have his speed and reflexes and so yes he is athletically gifted.

[PRINCEKOOL]

Prince Naseem Hamed.

Muhammad Ali.

Junior Witter 'Extremely gifted athletically' not quite the level of fighter as the above two etc

[lopetego]

Corrie Sanders was the most athletically gifted

incredibly fast hands and counter punching skills for a guy that hardly ever trained. very good power too

he was only a part time boxer, dude was a professional golf player and boxer at the same time, competing in actual tourneys and stuff

you could see in his pudgy physique that he didn't train, (and in his ****ty stamina, which was the reason he'd lose his fights)

he still beat a prime Wladimir Klitschko and was doing well against Vitali before he gassed

a part time boxer that never trained

imagine if he had work ethic, he could've been one of the greats no doubt

[ruedboy]

Hamed, Fury, Augustus, Sweet Pea.

That's 4.

And that's /thread.

Hamed was amazing. I saw a video of him when he was about 10. All he did was stand in front of the other fighter and avoid punches. Unbelievable reflexes.
