Natural fighter vs. learned fighter.

[aboutfkntime]

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.

no fighter is " natural " in that respect

that story is overblown

it implies that genetics is responsible, but your example - two brothers - basically shreds that argument

I can whip any babies ass... you line that little sucka up, I will knock his block off... and they train like shlt, wobbling all over the place... terrible balance... terrible coordination... no killer instinct whatsoever



a natural fighter is James Toney... a learned fighter is Wlad Klitschko

Wlad was a beast, especially under Steward, who taught him to cover his shortcomings by fighting to his strengths

Vitali was also a learned fighter

-Natural fighter deontay wilder has that gifted right hand but yet has learned nothing
-Learned algeri that's self explanatory

Natural pacquiao that style is rare genetic lottery of athletism and the facts asians n blacks age lesser that whites for whatever reason thats blazing speed from any angle is natural u cant learn it or else your results aint close. A learned fighter is mayweather the defensive wizard with the shoulder roll was all learned. Evidently as a child prodigy coming from boxing family dude like michael jackson was just drilled as such since a child the learning came natural yet it was all learned

Most are pretty much natural fighters if you are looking at it from a simple point of view. It is very difficult to even box at a competent level if you don't have a natural feel for moving around and throwing punches.

People get it twisted because they see certain defensive or cautious boxers and assume they don't know how to fight without rules or they lack aggression. That is not the case. They simply understand that it is not in their best interest to go toe to toe with a boxer whose style is more tailored to that.

Look at Wladimir for instance. People are chalking him up as not having that mean streak in him but they seem to forget that younger Wlad used to bring the heat before he started being more tactical. You better believe he can still get guys out of there if he decided to let his offensive arsenal loose. It's just that against skilled competition he leaves himself vulnerable to getting caught.

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.

Nothing natural about getting beat up by a 42 to 1 underdog

[Rick Taylor]

Natural- Roy Jones
Learned - Bernard Hopkins

[Dodger07]

Born to fight- Erik Morales

Learned to fight- Marco Antonio Barrera

[FinitoxDinamita]

Eric Morales and James Toney are naturals. They do things instinctively which cannot be taught.

[PRINCEKOOL]

Bernard Hopkins another natural fighter, he natural ability to fight? Would sometimes help him rough house his opponents.
