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 -

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.Comment

RJJ was a freak against noobs.Originally posted by GasPedRoy Jones Jr was a freak of nature. There has never been and likely never will be another boxer with his athleticism.
Against Tarver and a journeyman... he sleeps in the canvas.Comment

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 packageOriginally posted by Left2bodyI was just thinking which fighter in recent history was the most gifted physically. I'm not talking about skills just pure talent i.e. speed, power, reflexes chin. Here are some nominee's from off the top of my head:
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.
