Our best natural boxer?
Our best natural boxer?
Having watched Lee Selby demolish Gradovich I was thinking 'is he our best natural boxer'? We have Carl Frampton, James DeGale, Chris Eubank Jnr, Kell Brook (sorry if I've missed anyone). For me after the weekend Selby is our best in terms of natural ability! Does anyone agree/disagree?

I'd plump for Selby as well. He's looking absolutely class.

Brook for me,doesn't have any clear weaknesses that I can see

Corolla looks a naturally coordinated man and Stephan Smith looks a natural.

Brook is definitely up there as is Selby. CW Haye was a joy to watch but in half retirement so guess can't count him.
Mitchell, Callum Smith and Kal Yafai look natural too.

I used to think Gavin Rees was a lovely boxer to watch, however Selby is pure class at times.

Brook for me. His timing is effortless.

BJS has to be up there when he's on form - the first 6 rounds against Eubank Jr were beautiful to watch.

Brook and Frampton are the two standouts for me.

Think Callum can be a little predictable at times. Hope i'm wrong, would really like to see him kick on at world level. I guess we'll know more after the Rebrasse fight.danamba7 wrote:Yeah love watching Crolla box.palooka wrote:Corolla looks a naturally coordinated man and Stephan Smith looks a natural.

Re: Our best natural boxer?
I enjoy watching Stephen Smith and posted before that he looks natural; his brother, Liam, boxes in a way that he makes it look easy.
Re: Our best natural boxer?
an absolute belter of a stylist we produced was ian napa, from a technical aspect I loved watching him, I think he over achieved being euro champ but in the same breath I have seen lesser skilled fighters be world champion for a long time, the trouble with ian was, in my opinion, he was always coast training between fights and fighting 2 weights above what he should have been with a proper strength and nutritionist. I think Frankie gavin could be a beast at lightweight!
Re: Our best natural boxer?
I reckon Joshua , concidering his bulk looks pretty fluid , I know bigger test are needed etc........
Re: Our best natural boxer?
Brook for me is the stand out, timing, power, accurate jab ,

Liam Walsh very tidy
Re: Our best natural boxer?
Yeah Joshua started boxing late so he definitely has natural ability and obviously works hard too.rd350lc wrote:I reckon Joshua , concidering his bulk looks pretty fluid , I know bigger test are needed etc........

Amir Khan by a country mile, speed accuracy and power, throws from every angle, footwork is unreal and has a very good defence, all natural ability,
