as to the question on athleticism. its speed, stamina, natural co-ordination and power, that sort of thing.
skill is acquired technique.
since all these top guys train for years & years the 2 go hand in hand.
but its clear to see that roy had some of the greatest athletic attributes from 160-175 that have ever been seen.
and as to the post regarding peds. roy was ridiculously ripped, allegedly failed a test, and went from 160 to heavy, keeping speed and power. i suspect that All top fighters may dabble with peds, some being more obvious than others.
as to skill. roy had a speedy style so thats what he specialised in. his co-ordination, power & speed were incredible.
his style enabled him to beat more technical boxers like hopkins & toney, without taking punishment in return, in his prime.
