    Natural fighter vs. learned fighter.

    Give an example of a fighter who had to learn to be a fighter, and a fighter who's a natural fighter.

    For the former, I'd say Wlad. For the latter, I'd say Vitali.

      I'd flip those actually. Vitali looks like a natural fighter while Wlad who had to learn how to fight.

      Fury and Crawford are natural fighters.

      Joshua is a fighter who learned how to fight.

          I have never classed Mayweather as a natural fighter 'You can see that it is very learned processed by the way he fights' Mayweather always appears extremely choreographed.

          I simple way to identify a natural fighter is? All natural fighters will be able to handle themselves in a street fight 'Where as Learned fighters, will not be great street fighters'.

          Mike Tyson was a natural fighter.

            Natural-Chavez sr and canelo those guys were born and built to fight.

            Learned- Floyd he learned his craft well but in a street fight most of the guys he outboxed would have killed him.

              Didn't Sven Ottke get flash ko'd by his ex wife? And needless to say he wasn't exactly a gritty boxer in the ring. He learned the game with very minimal physical attributes and was successful.

              Natural fighters? Pretty much most fighters.

                Roberto Duran was just born to fight, born to box.

                I'd say for learned, first fighter comes to mind right now is Anthony Joshua

                  I always saw Oscar as a "learned" fighter. I bet when throwing a baseball, he looks like a girl trying to pitch left-handed.
