Yea not really. It's hard to find anyone who had the same physical gifts that he did. I would almost say Whittaker was about on par only Jones had a lot more pop and was perhaps faster, so he would have to take it over Sweet P.

Yea quite very possibly pal.

**Pugilistic** · 05-17-2007 12:59 AM

theres no one that i can think that was more althletic

**the phenom** · 05-17-2007 01:04 AM

i think he was on of the best

PBF's def. up there and could easily make an arguement for #1.

**smashup** · 05-17-2007 05:24 PM

Agreed mate,infact Floyd is faster and more athletic imo.

RJJ was superman. Power and Speed. No one had it like he did.

most athletic? could be. but mayweather is on par with that specially with regards to reflex. but definitely RJJ as a whole package, pbf doesn't have the power that beholds both arms of rjj that's one thing. if there's frailty on rjjs totality as a boxer, it could be his mind as it has very poor ability to adjust, also his chin is something really not admirable. after he losses the once vaunted supernatural skills he have most specially his reflex maybe due to combination of age and too much weight shifting, he was exposed as merely an ordinary boxer and without the capability to adjust his style the rjj once we knew is long gone. I personally prefer him retiring than to see him get laid his a** on the canvas again further degrading his legendary status.

PBF and Whitaker IMO had more technical, aquired skill, but Roy Jones by far, again IMO, had the best natural abilities.

I can't think of anyone more athletic, or who had better physical tools that Jones had. Truely an ATG

Jones was and still is a great athletic boxer i would say Mayweather is on a par is stamina and fitness is unreal

ICB · 05-17-2007 05:55 PM

I guess were pretty much agreed here

Dream on. Roy had as good a combination of power, speed, and reflexes the game has seen. Floyd has better technical skills...but he is not on the same level of natural ability that Roy is.
