Are fighters at the elite level born or made?

It's an insult to professional boxers and human intelligence that you even poise this question. Of course you can just take any man off the street and turn him into a world champion. You can be a champion if you just try really, really hard!

NB: TS is a noob in life.

Yeah Bradley isn't really very gifted...

He's probably the hardest working guy in the sport where his will exceeds his skill, his handspeed is decent doe.

Yet, the only guy that can seem to beat him is Pac. I love it when people way he isn't gifted and then he outboxes one of the best master boxers in the world in JMM. The guy gets sloppy at times but he is a supreme athlete and a top P4P boxer through an through....you don't achieve levels that he has by not being gifted. I think people see him get sloppy and mistake that for a lack of skill; however, this is far from the truth. Tim fights all comers and only the fighter of the decade could best him and that was with him hurt.....he was tagging Pac with ferocious punches before he pulled his leg.


Even after he hurt his leg, he could have outboxed Pac but he chose not too because he felt that he would not win a decision no matter what happened.

This is moronic. If Bradley isnt gifted in your eyes, it's only because your eyes arent equipped to understand talent and skills in boxing. Bradley has awesome positioning, timing, transitioning from defence to attack, and he pivots at the waist like no other. This is not mentioning his physical traits like handspeed, footspeed, conditioning and ability to absorb punishment.
