natural talent? no and yes.

when i first started to box i was totally shit. i could punch really hard, thats about it. my technique was appalling and i was really stiff and opposite to fluid movement.
if you saw me then you would say i wasnt talented enough. i was also fat then too. mentally i always bin a fighter but physically i didnt start out fluid or anything.

when i got into shape and stayed around the game, started to know the moves, got a myself a proper coach who taught me the moves, then it all came together, i have nice fluid movement, and throw combos comfortably, effortessly. and ppl say to me now, trainers, that im talented. however

now if i got myself in shape, and been around the game for a couple of years, was taught the right way and still couldnt be fluid and get the hang of it, then thats when you can say the person hasnt got the talent.

the example one trainer gave me was, i was doin the stuff effortlessly where as someone else who may not be as talented would have to graft (whilst sparring for e.g)

ps- i am not being big headed and tryna big myself up, cos no one knows who i am, so theres no point, i am jus tryna give some real examples. i hope i helped
