    Pernell was talented but not freakishly talented the way some of the others on the list are. Pernell one of the most skilled fighters I have every seen and won many fights based on his skills more so than pure talent. I think he success

      For physical ability, from that list I would go with Roy Jones Jr.

        I would say Pac-Man, but his speed, power, explosiveness, and stamina stems mostly from his tireless work ethic and training.

        I would say RJJ, but while he undeniably had some crunch his his punch, he isn't going to be compared to George Foreman/Tito Trinidad P4P in the power department.

        I say this goes to none other than The Prince Naseem Hamed; he had some P4P dynamite in his fists (Barrera said that The Prince hits harder than Pacqiao, who KO's granite chined HOFer's), and could give RJJ a run for his money in the agility/reflexes (and showboat) department. He was just an undisciplined lug who after winning a few titles decided he didn't need to train anymore. One of the biggest wastes of talent in history.

          Roy Jones Jr was a freak of nature. There has never been and likely never will be another boxer with his athleticism.

              RJJ was a freak against noobs.

              Against Tarver and a journeyman... he sleeps in the canvas.

                Hamed
                PBF
                RJJ
                Tyson
                Zab
                Pac-Man
                Jermaine

                Edited for clarification, I'm curious as to who you gentlemen think was the most physically gifted.
                in his prime, physically tyson was probably the most gifted boxer in a long time he had superior power speed and chin to most fighters and he had all that in one package
                if only his head was screwed on properly

                      Roy Jones.
                      He didnt have great boxing ability, but incredible athleticism allowed him to dominate for a long, long time.
