Who is your second most athletically gifted fighter after Roy Jones Jr?

[LetOutTheCage]

Ali is the most athletically gifted fighter, Ali was 6.4 and in his younger days could move and had handspeed equivalent to a welter weight.

What heavyweight as big as Ali has been as athletic as him, there hasn't been one...

Anthony Joshua is the only triathlon athlete in boxing probably.,competed in numerous things . He even swam against Phelps for fun .

AJ barely has the cardio to throw punches for 3 rounds.

There’s no way in hell he could be a triathlete.

Also like the next poster after you, came here to say this. Freakish and brilliant. And now probably gonna go watch something like the Steve Robinson fight, almost every punch full body into it bouncing ahah

His ring walk was epic that night as well.

Maravilla Martinez is another one... Fun to watch.

I slept on Martinez for years. I remember him coming over here and having problems with Richard Williams for the IBO title.

It wasn’t until he beat Pavlik and iced Paul Williams that I really began to appreciate him. Great fighter.

Illinois literally created a "Ken Norton rule" for high school sports since Norton won 7 out of 8 track events where he was competing, his son played on the NFL as well.

Had to google that but had a chuckle

To me, athleticism is fluidity of movement. Or the ability to play another sport(s) at a high level.

Gerald McClellan comes to mind for me. Ali. Norton as someone said. Pernell Whitaker, I could see him being a great basketball point guard.

Probably forgetting some guys but those guys come to mind.

I don't think there's much argument that Roy Jones Jr is the most athletically gifted boxer of all time.

But who would be your second choice after him?

Robinson. Ray did things fluid that fighters can't do robotic now. He did these jab jab right uppercut jab combo's that was so smooth.

Andy Ruiz would have excelled at hot dog eating contests.
